How do I verify validity of money orders?

Question

I received money orders and want to cash or deposit it. They are drawn on Wal*Mart Financial Services. I'd like to verify good funds B4 negotiating them. Would like to verify via internet if possible. Thanks.

Answer 1

Wal Mart should be able to validate the money order.
There are lottery scams going on where they send you an
official looking money order. You get in trouble if you cash them.
Hope your question is not prompted by this sort of thing.
In case it was, this web site explains the scam.

Answer 2

Verify Money Order

Answer 3

You can usually take them to your financial institution and they can call and make sure they are valid before you cash or deposit them. Be prepared though, the validation process is just that a process. I deal with money orders on a regular basis ( I work from home) and it takes about 20 minutes to a money ordered verified.

Answer 4

Go to Wal-Mart and cash them. It's their Money Order.

In future, if you are nervous about Money Orders, tell your customers you ONLY accept United States Postal Service Money Orders.

Answer 5

Go to a Wal-Mart store. They do have financial services now. Wal-Mart should cash the money orders.. check out the Wal-Mart website. Call a Wal-Mart store.
