Money Order

You can always take it to the post office to get it verified and who knows it could be a real one and that would be a good Christmas present for you. LOL!

Hi my friend recieved a money order that said all he had to do was cash it and send a portion of it to them and keep the rest.It looked like a money order written on the bank of America. So used to seeing their money orders the teller cashed the check. So happy this was not a scam, my friend sent the money on to the people and deposited the rest into his bank account. About a month later on his way home he was detained by police officers for forgery, passing bad check, and a host of other things. The bank also debited the money that he sent to the people. Luckily he didnt spend his, finally he learned a very expensive lesson. All that glitters is not gold, if it looks too good to be true usually it is.

Wow!!! That's so nice! OMG, free 600 bucks in your post. You must be feeling rich now. Exactly how involved are you online? Surely you would know if you are expecting a sum to the tune of 600 bucks? But hey, if your name is correctly printed, then it cannot be a mistake. Do have it verified at the post office who sent it. I would also sit down and run through all the programs I am involved in. Log in to every one of them and check my earnings stats. :P

This is a tough one. I have seen people make fake money orders that have the water mark on them and are able to cash them. On the other hand it could be from something you happen to stumble upon signing up for. A few years back my sister signed up for an offer. Well, a month later she recieved a money order for 150.00. Next month it doubled and she did not know where they were coming from but they doubled each month til the last check she got was like 2000.00. Finally they stopped coming so she went and searched for the compnay and it was out of business, it was a downline thing. Oh, well free money she just happened to sign up for the right thing at the right time.

I would take it to the post office and get it verified. A bank can also send it off to be verified and it normally takes about 30 days. I have had fake money orders sent to me twice so I would be extremely careful and not do anything with it until you are sure it is legitimate.

I would also take it to the Post Office to have it verified. I believe they'll also cash it. As far as it has to have an address... it only has to have your address on it, along with your name and you'll need a picture ID to cash it at the PO. The person who sent it to you doesn't have to include any of their info, if they choose not to. If they didn't it could be a fraud... have it verified before you deposit it into a bank account.

It looks like you are getting all good advice. If it is a post office money order they should be able to check it for you. It is a lot safer to take it to the post office to varify because your back would charge you if it turned out fake and the post office would be able to tell right away. You may have signed up for the right thing and just got lucky. Who know. I wish you luck and please let us all know how it turns out.

There are people in Africa especially who are running these scams. They get on myspace and set up profiles and people add them as friends and next thing you know they're getting you to give them your address and email so they can send you something like flowers or candy. When they find out where you live they make you a target for sending stolen goods and money orders and other things, hoping that you will get them cashed and send part of the money to them via western union. They are stealing identities and credit card information and using it to buy things online, then having them shipped to individuals who pay them for the merchandise. They are very professional at what they do and are able to make themselves appear to be other people. I've caught several of them on different social networks. They slip up most of the time by saying they're working all over the world and would like to relocate to your area. Watch out and never give anyone your information unless you know them very well.

Perhaps that's a nice Christmas present. Could you have won something? If it was not for you, the name and address would not have been correct. Since it is a money order, the sender would have already paid for it. I would just cash it :P

This is very very strange. I think the rest of the people have given you very good advice. Go to the post office and get them to verify whether or not it is valid. Also see if they can trace it. Maybe ask people who may of sent it if they did. If it all checks out then take it.

A valid one would have the name and address of the sender written on it. Still verify it with the post office and see what they say. IF it is real, then that's great! If not then just let it be. But I can assure you it has to have the address and name of the sender on it. I wish you well. Let us know what happens.
