I questioned it as seems strange, but he got upset and told me cash is how you pay.

Informed people here - is this a scam? What's the reason for insisting cash only? I'm not keen carrying 15K in notes in a car with no security.

Thanks all.
Bank cheques are too easy to create fraudulent copies of these days.
