money orders

[huskies1]

Is there any way to tell if a money order is legitimate or not? I have heard of money order that are fake. But I know many people who consider money orders a safer way to except payment than checks.

I dont get you there? U mean money order being fake?? How can that happen??

How can it be face if you get the money in hand???


Money order???

Ok in my country what money order is "its a way to send money via mail where the local mailman delivers the cash via hand to your dore step"

Do you mean the same here?? Then in that case if you get the money in hand, how can it be fake?

Fake money order?? I don't get you here. Money orders are usually issued by banks and the condition for it, is that the specified amount of money must be paid before the money order is issued. Generally that way money order is usually considered much safer compared to checks because payment in money order has already been done. The receiving party usually will take the money order to respective banks to cash out.

Oh Wow!!! You mean in your country money orders are processed through banks???

Great??? In my country its like they are processed to Postal offices. You need to go to Post and Telegraphic offic to make a money order and send money. And in case to receive the money the Post man or Mail man gets to your door step and delivers the cash

Yeah... Certain banks offer such service. What is so peculiar about it????? Maybe the terms are slightly different because some refer to it as "bank draft". And yes, not only banks but postal service issue "money order" as well.

Yes there have been cases of money orders that turn out to be a fraud. Yes if you buy a money order you have to pay the cash to have it processed. I would assume the cases where they are fake are when someone somehow produces a look alike. Such as when people try to counterfit money.

Hehee..yap. Too many people know about that and i believe many people want to learn how to use that payment processor. But in real life, money order is important. Why? Since 10 years ago, many people use it and i try to earn my first money from money order..
