I also would be leery of a pile of cash. I would rather take a certified check to the bank and have the person in the bank hand me the same pile of cash. cuz it would really suck to go to your bank and go to deposit 10 or 12 or 15 k and find out most of it is not real.

Did you know you can do that yourself, the same as the bank? Go to any office supply store and buy the same pens the bank uses to verify validity. I have them and use them on ALL cash transaction sales...whether it's a car, bike, beachball, etc...makes no difference. All cash gets the "test".

The counterfeit pens are based on the fact, only the feds can buy the paper for currency. Several years ago, someone figured out how to wash $5 bills and reprint them as 50s. The pen test showed a good bill because it was the right paper. I haven't heard about this practice for a while leading me to believe the new printing techniques have fixed the problem on newer bills.

This might have bad written all over it. This man is buying parts and shipping them to you to stuff in the car to ship to him? You need to follow the law and stuffing parts in the car so he doesn't have to pay taxes on them should automatically draw a red flag. This is not a buddy you are trying to help out, this is a complete stranger from another country. If he has not sent you the parts yet, you should back out of this now. IMO.
