Personally, I would tell him that's none of his @#$ business. A cashiers
check or money order should be more than sufficient, maybe even Western
Union a portion to placate him, but I certainly would NOT divulge any
banking account information under any circumstance.
At most, he could ask his bank to check with your bank if there is
sufficient funds for a check to clear in the agreed upon amount. Then you
would still be theoretically protected.
