My reply, no deposit needed (unless full amount). PPI welcomed, just let me know when and how will come by, payment only via cashiers check or cash.

Cashier's checks can be forged. Go for a wire transfer to a bank account in your name. Open a special account at your bank for the transfer...close out that account after the transfer is made.
