If you decide to do this, make it cash in hand, or no deal...!
If it is a large amount of cash, take it to the bank and make sure it every bit of it is NOT counterfeit funny money...!
Whatever you do, if you decide to take anything other than cash, DO NOT deposit anything into YOUR bank account, or link your bank account to the funds in any way. Sometimes it takes over a WEEK to 'clear' or not clear a paper trail, and you bank WILL pull it right back out of your account in a heartbeat...! So sorry, you lose...!
I can attest to this from my numerous years and hundreds of cases as an Internet and Fraud detective... BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE!!!!!!
There, you cannot say YOU have not been warned...!
