[s-cars] Online fraud (car related, delete if you're not

[Kevin Smith]

Hmm, I believe I specifically stated that in my post, but you conveniently
snipped that portion... lol

They aren't easily counterfeited either, and as I said before, you have to
know what to look for, and ALWAYS take them to the post office so they can
be verified before finalizing any deal. Although Postal Money Orders have a
maximum value of $1000, so buying a car with one (or more) may be more
hassle than it is worth anyway. 

I have been operating various businesses for 20+ years now, and have taken
Postal Money Orders almost exclusively (cash, money order, or paypal), and I
have never had a single problem. No counterfeits so far, and my orders range
from $25 on up to several thousand (requires multiple money orders). The
biggest string of fakes seem to come from Nigeria, as most scams seem to
originate from, and I don't do business with anyone in Nigeria anyway... :)

Postal Money Orders can be counterfeited.  They can be as fraudulent as any
check.
