WHAT??
English my friend.
 
English translation; ants in the pants... Totally understandable, considering the feedback.
 
At the Post Office's nationwide, there's a counterfitting ring of Money Orders that are being used as payment on Ebay. There's plenty of thing to look for to tell if it's real or fake.

1) Look for Benjamin Franklin as a watermark. There should be one full head, one half, and a piece of the forehead showing.

2) There's a strip that says USPS up & down the strip.

I can't reveal the more involved tests, since we are not allowed to reveal to the public.

But the two I mentionned are the most common giveaways.

yeah when I asked my bank to cash the MO that nitrost sent mt they were like yeah...only if its real LOL kinda but not really
 
Team 17....I was told by a friend who sold on E-bay for years that you can have the person's mail stopped until they repay your MO or give you the product you ordered....is there ANY type of method like this or did I get an ass full of smoke? I looked on every stinkin site I could for info on ANY type of recourse you can take and came up empty......
 
The mail cannot be stopped for any reason. It's a $25,000 fine a 1 year in jail. Alot of times you can't track the MO to an individual. But if u have all their info and you know it's the real info, then you can call the Postal Inspectors and they will investigate.

You can still call the Inspectors & tell them what's going on & they can help you further.
