you have to pay them back some how try to talk to them about a payment plan. You benefited from the first one you got to use the money so you need to pay them back. Sorry for the bad news but as they say if it seems to good to be true it is.

Go to the police and give them the remaining money orders and file a complaint against the person that gave you the money orders. What a lesson for you......anything that is too good to be true IS.
You are responsible to pay back any establishment that you gave the bad money order to. Tell them you will have to make payments. You will have to give them a reasonable offer, and figure out how many months this will take you to pay off. I would say nothing more than 6 months. That would be $136.73 per month.You have to be responsible for your actions. The company accepted the money order in good faith from you, not the original party that gave it to you. You will have to try to get your money back from the person that gave it to you.........good luck with that..like I said, this is a life lesson, good thing you did not cash all the checks, you would really be hurting then!

Did you actively participate in this scam, or were you an innocent victim?
If you were an innocent victim, you need to go to the police with the rest of your money orders and file a police report so they can start an investigation. Take a copy of every email and other correspondence so they can really investigate this matter.
Then take your police report to the check cashing place and offer to set up a re-payment plan (with no interest) to pay them back. Just because YOU were scammed, does not give you the right to pass your damages along to a third innocent party (the check cashing place). This in no way could be construed as the check cashing places fault. You brought in the bogus money order and then signed paperwork stating that if the money order was no good, you would pay them back.
Or, just stick your head in the sand and wait for them to either file criminal charges against you or to take you to small claims court where they will win.
