Thread: •• Want to do a deal with Money Orders? Look here first ••

Sweet. This thread was just made to inform everyone. And to just take caution.

lol thats what i was saying, dont give them your bank account info and just keep it

Like I said, it's a very old scam. You should never release items until the check or MO has cleared - I know my bank will call in every MO I give them before they even deposit it to make sure it's genuine.

ya i think the moral of the story here is to not accept forms of payment that can easily be counterfeited its not that hard to get paypal all you need is a bank account and internet

We had a lottery winnings cashiers check show up in the mail...with some made up business/contest for 15,000. My wife was pretty excited as she was the one to open it. After some googling we figured out it was just a variation on the money order scam... Afterwards we were pretty bummed about it...we could have used the money. Thats probably how they get people to cash them...

just to point out a usps money order can be cashed at any post office i always pay in mo

That would Include the Post Office contacting the Police about you trying to scam them. Not the other way around. You would be at fault not the person who sent you the MO

This happened to me ina local selling place called ''The supershopper B/S/T Exact same thing for my evil minion, 68, empire b back 2 years ago...He sent me $2000 for something I wanted $800 for by M.O (which was counterfeit and so royally ****ED up) he remainder was for the shipiing or the guy picking it up I forget...it was funny.
