Answer 1

I don't really suggest if it is going to be used for criminal or fraudulent purposes, and this method should be used only as a very last resort.

Check washing is the process of erasing checks, enabling the rewriting thereof, usually for criminal purposes such as fraudulent withdrawal from the victim's bank account.

The actual process of washing a check is relatively simple, and can be accomplished with basic solvents. Possible solvents include alcohol or nail polish remover with acetone in it or straight acetone. I believe paint thinner may also be used. Nail polish remover (acetone) and isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) are polar molecules, and are able to pull most common inks away from paper quite easily, in a matter of minutes (as the video states approx. 3 minutes). Then hang the check to drip dry and do not iron the check because flammable solvents were just used.


This website has a video as to how to go about washing a check and how to prevent yourself from identity theft thereafter.

I know that some stores and check cashing agencies will not exchange money orders that are already made out...unless they are made out to the buyer (you) or the agency/store, or the pay to line is blank. They will not allow you to simply cross out the information in the pay to line because it would be considered altered or a third-party check which most stores do not accept especially if whomever the money is made out to did not sign the back of the money order authorizing transfer of funds from the money order to you.

Answer 2

Well you can't.
You need to go to the bank and get another one.
If you received it from someone you have to send it back and get a new one.
It's like a cheque. If it's payable to Joe Dingo and you're Bob Smith you can't cash it.

Answer 3

I don't think you can without it being considered as being "tampered" with which could void it. If you are the one who bought it, I would suggest taking it back to where you bought it along with your receipt to prove you did in fact buy it yourself, and see if you can exchange it for another one.
