I lost $4000 from a bad cashiers check from Richard Kessler in Houston. Fed
Express delivered this and the secured funds box was checked. Does that mean if
they accept non secured fundsa they have some liability. They say no. I will
check it out by taking them to court. They are acting as our agent. Cashiers
checks always have a clear method of identification and this was obviously phony
