not if the "money" he gives you is drafted on a fake bank account. When you deposit a check, the teller can't verify that the account # is real right away - the checks go into a pile where they're all processed. It usually takes about 20-30 days to get that done. If after that time the bank discovers the check is bad, they remove that money from your account - otherwise the bank is out however much money the check was for. Of course, no one is gonna get a car payment check and then keep the car for a month, so you are not in control of anything in that situation
