Hello,
Yesterday I recived a payorder of worth rupees 2000 Pakistani Rupees (USD $32) for me through ordinary International post from Canada, But envelop does not contain sender's address nor any clue, even there is no letter about it except a draft. While I have no relative in Canada.
What do you think about it?
Should I deposit this draft in my account?
Can it make problem for me in future?
Is it a cheating?
Your opinion is valuable for me, I shall be thankful to you.

I would be very careful - it sounds like a scam or something like that to get your money, or it may be some attempt to find out your personal information (bank account number, etc.). To just receive something out of the blue like that is strange indeed, just BE VERY CAREFUL! If it were me, I would probably take it to the Post Office (or somewhere) and turn it in to be investigated. If it were something you sent for the situation might be different, but even then I would be careful! Remember if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!

I would say it is a scam. If you deposit it they will have your checking account number when the get the cancelled draft. I would take it to a larger bank branch and see if they want to take it and pass it along to the police/regulators.

This seems very odd. Is there anybody in Canada who might want to send you money legitimately? The money order might be traceable, but if not, depositing it might have consequences. Money is never just sent to somebody for no reason, and if it seems to be, it is too good to be true. And, you know what they say when something is too good to be true? It's not worth it.

Do not deposit any check or money order you do not know..you could go to jail..someone is trying to set you up for a scam or some other illegal activity...don't answer..dump it..do not respond in any way...and they will look for another mark. Do not accept any shipments and agree to forward them anywhere..the stuff is hot and you will be arrested if caught..
