how can i check my money order 2 c if it's good or not that someone sent me.?

Answer 1

If in doubt, send it back or throw it away.

The person who sent you the money order will stop payment. Calling the toll free number will tell you if the money order number is still valid. Even if the money order is valid, the person can stop payment on the money order at anytime.

Tread with caution.

Answer 2

Postal Money Orders are safe to use because they have many security features that help distinguish between real and counterfeit notes. Just like our own U.S. currency, they are specially designed with different colored inks, watermarks, and security thread in the paper.

How to tell if it’s official
Hold the money order up to the light and look for the following security features:

Ben Franklin images (watermarks) repeated on the left side (top to bottom).
A dark security thread running (top to bottom) to the right of the Franklin watermark, with the tiny letters “USPS” facing backward and forward.

If either of these security features is not present when the money order is held up to the light, you are holding a fraudulent Postal Money Order.


Also be aware that
Denominations are indicated on two locations.
Discoloration of the denomination amounts indicates erasure (fraudulent).
Maximum value for domestic postal money orders is $1,000.
Maximum value for international postal money orders is $700. (Maximum for Canadian money orders is $1,000)

Answer 3

Go to a bank and simply tell them that you want to know if it is good or not. They will help you. Do not try to just cash it! This can get you into major trouble if it is a fake.

If you are into one of the "I am barister so-and-so, and I have access to a multi-million dollar account" dealss, I caan already tell you the money order is either fake or stolen.

Answer 4

do you know the someone
or is it one of those i need you to cash it and send me 60% and you keep the 40%?
