Secret Shopper scam. USPS Money Order scam. BEWARE 

Thanks a lot! Me and my girlfriend just received 2 postal money orders and literally were about to take them to the post office...Then saw your video. Lifesaver...Thank you.

I just got one yesterday!!!! Thank GOD i'm skeptical of EVERYTHING!!! YOU HAVE JUST confirmed what i already suspected!!! THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!

my elderly friend received a similar money order in the mail. hers was made out to her a postal money order for 998.00 i believe this is a fake too!!!!! the usps does not make or cash over 500.00. thank u so very much for this video we live in indiana. and im sure the sender was a different name than on yours. there are more than one person involved in this ring!!!!! iy needs to be stopped!!! elderly people dont know better sometimes. and im sure they are stea;ing many identies and many innocent citizens hard earned money!!!! i will also be in contact with the fbi. my friend was a mystery shopper years ago. so they must have the real employee list to get these names from. thank you again for this video

thank you!! i received one of these today. The fake money order also does not have the benjamin franklin water mark on it either!! will be contacting local FBI office in the morning!!

my cousin is a victim of this. she just received the priority mail withe the letter and fake money order inside. this video helped us identify that this is a real scam. we are going to notify the local authorities and report this.

Thank you for posting! I just received one of these the other day, from a different address. I was told to go to Walmart and use their Walmart 2 Walmart Money Services. You are right as to how authentic this Money order is and I will be following your lead and contacting my local FBI office!

Someone just tried this with me, thanks a million.

You really just helped me out!. I received a postal money order in the mail yesterday for $993.20 sent. Its so disheartening because financially I am in a bind and I thought this was a gift from god himself. Turned out to be a fraud. Sucks to be me right now.

I looked this up to show my grandson its not real. He wanted to go to the check cashing place to cash it. I received one of those from an FedX envelope but I tore it up and threw it in the trash. I dont have a job so I did apply for a Mystery shopper job. The thing was. Why would someone give you money when you haven't worked.

A million thanks to you for posting this!!!!! My 74 year old dad just got this same USPS envelope and two FAKE money orders for $895. He seemed excited given the amount of the checks, and I told him right off the bat it is a scam!!!! Thank God you posted this, I sent him a link to watch this!!!

I was supposed to buy 2 green dot moneypak cards at either cvs, rite aid or walgreens and then keep 150 and put the balance on the two cards then text a phone number they provided in the letter with the 14 digit codes on the back! be careful!!!

I received one of these today and I am taking it to the FBI tomorrow. The guy that contacted me by email was not the guy that sent me the money order, and the money order has a different name yet. The guy that has been contacting me by email is already lighting up my email box about the funds. As soon as I take it to the FBI, I am going to send him their contact info if he wants it back. That should be great fun! Thank you for posting this for everyone to see. My son is an Investigator for the Federal Govt. and it was his advice to go to the FBI initially. Thankfully, we have a field office here in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area.

This is a awesome video and I believe you are spot on. But I have never been asked to complete my money order at the Post Office. If they require you do that, you should know they don't require that everywhere. I live in Missouri. I have lived in Cali, Nevada, Utah, and Alaska and have never been required to do so there.

This may not be identity theft but it is definitely a scam. The deal is, you send the money Western Union and a week later, the counterfeit comes back to your bank and removes the money from your account. You cannot recall the money order because the recipient has already claimed it. When you look up the address on Google Earth, the exact address doesn't even exist. A vacant lot, usually. So be careful. Verify it online or ask your Post Office to verify it. Either way, get the Postal Inspector involved.

Thank you so much for sharing this video!!! I just received one of these money orders this week for a total of $950.00!! They want us to do the same thing!!! I am so glad I saw your video about this!!! Thank you again :)) I was NOT about to deposit this into our bank account!!!!

i received one of these the other day and i stupidly opened it and spent money sending it back. i shouldve known to take it to the fbi but i didnt. today i received another one and i will be contacting my local FBI branch and giving this to them. thank you David for making this video.

Just received the same thing. I was leery and was doing some research when I came across your video. Thanks

Dude u just saved my life and identity!! I got a fake check to be a mystery shopper and i got caught up by the money because I'm an intern at a dialysis clinic and cant find a part time job so this "money" would have helped me out but now I know it would do the opposite.

I just received a check for 1,975 for a so called mystery shopping job as well. This so called person wants me to take 400 for myself, spend 50 on an electronic device at Walmart and send the rest to another so called mystery shopper (a.k.a.) himself. Im about to put that shit in the trash. Thank you so much for your video. These crooks have no shame what's so ever.

Thank u so much for this video. I am a 43 yr old disabled woman and I just wanted to try and earn a little extra money to help my husband. I received the exact duplicate off what u had n ur hand only difference is its for $5 more and its now 2013. I was surprised to get something like this first of all. I am so grateful to u. U did just save one person and u made a huge difference. Much thanks.

Thanks for posting. I just got one in the mail. I signed up for a "Secret Shoppper" want ad on Craigslist and got the SAME kind of Priority Mail envelope. Inside was a so-called Post Office Money Order with instructions to cash or deposit, take $150 and send the rest to another address via Western Union (the total amount was about $971). What alerted me was #1) The instructions said "Don't tell the bank teller your identity" because I was a "secret shopper". But my name and home address was written on the money order!! How could I be not reveal my identity with my name plastered right on the money order?? & #2) I'm a graphic artist and prepress specialist, and although it was a GOOD fake, I KNOW some of what to look for and some of the printed elements on the money order didn't look right to me. So I took it to my local post office. The lady thought it was a fake & told me to go to another P.O. and show the supervisor. So I did and when I showed it to her, her eyes got big and she said, "It's fake." I said "How could you tell?" She said, "I can't tell you how, but if you cash that you'll be in trouble". I said OK, thanks. BEWARE PEOPLE. THERE'S SOME REAL SCAMMERS OUT THERE!!!

My sister got two of these money orders for $995.00 out of nowhere. Both had her full name on them with address. They had a name that was a obgyn from some town in Florida. We searched more and found your video. Thanks for saving her life

Amount might be to small for the FBI to care. Another route would be to take it to the Post Office, tell them the situation, and let them check the validity.

I was trying to figure out why I got one! I am thankful I didn't cash it! Thank you for the video! By the way you did a good job explaining! I have a slight learning disability so you did help me!

When you go to The Postal Service to make a money order no matter what amount it is they do not make you fill out the part who you are and who you are sending it to for the simple fact that is personal business and does not concern the post office

Thank you so much for this. I just got two postal money orders for $925 a piece. I am taking them to the post office today. It's exactly the same thing.

Thank you for making this video. My wife just received a letter and money order today. Being skeptical we researched it and I came across this video. The letter my wife received asked her to send the money to a vacant lot in Chicago. We will be turning this in to the authorities immediately.

I just received one of these in the mail today and was so about ready to go cash it in until my husband did some research and thanks to you my family will not be there victim. so thank you so very much.

What is ironic about this, is that I live only miles away from Lawrenceville,Ga. There has been quite a few of scams that I see on my daily news in my area. I am glad you were able to catch it.

This is good info. If anyone suspects they have a fake money order just take it to your local Post Office. They can verify through their computer system if it is a valid money order. Since this comes through the US mail, the correct entity to contact is the US Postal Inspectors. Go to USPS.com scroll to the bottom and click on Postal Inspectors. it will take you to their link and resources to act on this. Please keep all of the envelopes to send to them.

You just saved me. Thank you ! I got the same thing priority mail. In addition to the FBI, I am also contacting WalMart to let them know that they are being misrepresented. Something told me .... you know how you get that feeling that something isn't right. I started searching the Internet and I found your video. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video.

it not for id theft it is so u send them money before your bank realizes its fake

I just received this same scam... I got it for 933.50... going to the FBI with it, the money order looks so real... but what got my attention is the security features... they were too bold to noticeable which its not suppose to be ... Like the silver strip with the letters on it reversed each time... that wasn't the case for this. Those letters inside USPS is suppose to be visible only with a black light.. Be careful... Great Video... Keep making these...

Calling tomorrow I just received one today!!!! My husband told me it was a scam. A few weeks back I was researching secret shopper jobs online for extra cash, so I think that's probably how they got my name. Not sure how they got my address though... SMH taking advantage of people who really need the extra income....

Just received one in the mail as well thank you for putting this info out there

Thank you for your video this We just checked the mail and my Wife received this exact scam with the exact numbers on the bottom for a mystery shopping job. They got bold and hand wrote her name and theirs. Googled money order scams and your video popped. Your video saved us from being fooled. Thanks.

Thanks! I just had someone try to scam me via Craigslist the same way. He wanted me to put his money order overpayment into my bank and to wire him the "excess funds" that he had "meant for another order". Thank goodness that I recognized this as a scam!

Thank you so much for this video!! I had applied for a mystery shopper job and got a money order in the mail yesterday with directions to be a Mystery Shopper for Western Union. I could tell something didn't seem right but wasn't sure. This helps me to confirm that it's a BS Scam.

My Wife got one today. They are using USPS Postal Money Order. Says it came from a Raymond Sullivan in Tampa and letter covers the same kind of info & request. It looks real MO & my wife was going to a bank tomorrow. My wife's been a secret shopper too. Thanks for posting video. From googling it seems they change some stuff around, but after t years they are still using same scam scenario and I'm sure it works enough to make it worth their while. BTW - some others have comments on same version of letter that we got.

I got two money orders today, also from Lawrenceville, GA. I knew it was a scam but decided to do a search to find out who to report this to. Thanks so so much.

It`s not just about identity theft. You will overdraw your bank account. I used to work at a bank and we had tons of letters like that. People deposited these checks to accounts and A MONTH letter, these checks come backs as NSF, but people already used this money....or you will get NSF fee from the bank. Also as soon as you deposit this check to your bank account the owner of this scam check will know your account # and after some time money start to disappear from you bank account. Good video!

The difference between the fake and the real "gilded strip" is that the real has a reflective metallic strip with a sort of rainbow, multicolored reflection that has to be made with a laser. The fake is just what's called a silver "foil stamp". Unless you're a print professional, you won't tell the difference. Also, the real reflective strip actually goes in and out of the paper pulp itself. The fake is just a metallic silver-colored foil stamp that's pressed on top of the paper. You have to put it under a loupe or magnifying glass to tell. And real money and money orders like this type are printed with a process called "gravure printing", which is sort of like an engraving. With real gravure printing the ink has a raised tactile feel. You can feel the printed lines. With commercial offset printing, you can't fell anything. The ink just soaks into the paper. The fake I got was offset printing. Also with real money orders and checks, the account and serial numbers are printed with a magnetic ink that electronic readers can read. I doubt the fake was magnetic ink. Just some things to look for...

OMG! I truly believed that maybe this envelope was real. I been in search of a job online and I am desperate to find anything right now. I can believed i almost felt for this WELL DONE SCAM!. It is so sad that people play with peoples needs. Something did not feel right and I started searching and found this AMAZING VIDEO! I am glad that we still have some nice honest people looking out for others. THANKYOU

Please take these money orders including envelopes and any correspondence to your local Post Office where they can be given to Postal Inspectors. Postal Inspectors are the Federal Agency that deals with fraud through the mail. Also, if you look at the stripe on the money orders you will see that the stripe on the real money order is embedded (like it is in money), whereas the fake ones have the metallic stripe printed on top. Also hold the money order up to the light, the real ones have a watermark on them. The fake ones, have a "print" on them in it's place that cannot be seen from the back side. There are so many security features that a Postal Clerk looks at, if in doubt, take it to your Post Office ALWAYS. That's what we are there for. Also, in a lot of the "scammer" envelopes (not ALL) the printed address label will have double names (yours didn't I noticed). The from will say John Doe, then second line john doe..... in the TO it will say Jane Doe next line jane doe. Also a lot is the zip code on the "from" will not be the zip code of "mailing" (yours posted was). The mailing zip is at the top right under where it says Commercial base pricing.

hey thanks for posting the video . I just received this same scam in the mail today 8/13/2016 so its still an issue five years later. I decided to take the money order to the post office to verify but decided to check it out online first, and that's when I came across your post. you kept me from getting into a huge mess. thanks again

felt very sceptical about never receiving a letter stating what company it was or receiving a call from my so call new employer..my current BOSS showed me this video. Thank God

I received one of these today. Money order all filled out for $960 from a gentleman named Jack Mills, but the letter was from Dr. Larry Lawton. The letter doesn't request I use Western Union, instead it asks me to purchase MoneyPak cards in the amount of $500 and $290 dollars. Email them the pin numbers to the cards.

Also don't go into the surveys. They can get alot of info from there too.

I really felt it was so fake when I received it today...the first thing I did it was searching for other People that might've received that also sure enough...I'll will of course call the FBI asap to catch this scammer..I hope they put him in jail...thank you for the confirmation with your video and all of those that also post their comments.

You can buy a money order at post office without filling in from who to whom you paying...

OMG, I just received a check from some person for a mystery shopping job. My is not a postal service check it's another fake looking check. Just like they told your wife, this person sent me a 1,975 check and he wants me to take 400 for myself , spend 50 on an electronic product at Walmart and send the rest to this other mystery shopper in another state. These damn thieves have no shame. It's very sad. Thanks for your video I'm about to throw the check in the trash.

THANK YOU!! I just got off the phone with the postal inspector about this same crap! Mystery shopping or shadow shopping rarely if at all will send a shopper a blank money order OR do mystery shopping at Western Union stores! This video is an excellent PSA. Thank you for caring enough to warn the public about these scammers.

I got one of these yesterday & yes, if it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Being out of work, most of us go to job sites like Career Builder, Snag a job, etc. Everytime I post my resume, I get spammed to death. The e-mail I got was from CareerBuilder & I checked the details to make sure it was from there. Mine was from a guy named Robert Borger, the address is a Restaurant in Long Beach, CA. I was planning to go to the Post Office & have this checked out.

I got two of these envelopes in the mail today, one had four money orders each at $980 - two were addressed to me and the other two were for another lady. The other envelope had a cashier's check for $3775.00 made out to me. Both had letters instructing me to deposit them, one day to clear and then deduct my fee and send the rest via money gram to Manila Philippines. I knew right out the gate this was a total scam and I will be doing the same as far as turning everything over to my local FBI office. You are absolutely right though, they went above and beyond to make these damn things look as authentic as possible - it's scary. My adoptive grandmother was almost scammed a couple years ago but we caught it thank goodness before they could do anything. There is a special place in hell for these people.

The "gilding" on the fake looks like a printed foil vs. the strip on the real money order which is actually woven through the paper and holographic (you should see it on the back). There should be water marks on the money order too. That's pretty elaborate. Thanks for sharing.

i just got two money orders in the mail yesterday. they were in a flat rate mailing envelope, but there wasn't a letter or anything in there, just the 2 money orders for $975 each. I'm glad i watched this video cuz i forgot i got a money order last month and still have the reciept, and i compared the reciept to the money orders. thank god i didn't cash them, but my mother in law almost did today. sooo glad she didn't!!! i'm so glad i found this video!

thanks a million got this today not same address or amount but postal money order in the amount of 890. thank god my son knew about your video saved me a lot of hassle, athanks again keep up the good work.

what does this have to do with identitiy theft?

aLL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL THE US POSTAL TOLL FREE NUMBER AND CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER THEY WILL TELL YOU IF IT'S LISTED OR NOT, IF NO NUMBER MATCH, ITS FAKE, SO CALL FIRST.

Thank you! I just got one today and my hubby and I were wondering what the hell are we supposed to do with this "check". now we know! Thank you!!!

I felt really suspicious about the check i got. Almost identical to the one in this video. Except they sent me TWO checks. I began some research and am currently e-mail my local FBI field office. Thank you for posting this video.

Thank-You...I received a Secret Shopper for Walmart...I did take the money orders to Chase Bank...They just handed them back and said "They're Fake!" and handed them back to me...I texted the Guy and said 'I am at Walmart and This Is Fraud!'(He never replied) Integrity Is The Most Important and Valuable Peace of Mind...But I Myself know 'Desperate People Do Desperate Things"...(My daughter is homeless...and My 'devils' were dancing)Thank-You for the FYI Scam Update

You might also contact Western Union. They can flag the receiver's name & address so that it can be caught before money is wired. I work for a company that cashes checks, issues money orders and does WU transfers. We get alerts of this kind everyday. It is truly amazing how much I have to scrutinize everything and everyone that walks through my door.

Just received one today. Different addresses and mine have it to me and signed by a Gomez in Austin, Texas. I will hand mine over to authorities also. I knew it could not be true and it is a shame as some will be excited to get some money and fall for it. Thanks for doing the video.

Thank you for the video. I just received one today. it looks so real. I recently signed up for mystery shopping too. if you don't mind me asking, where does your wife go for mystery shopping. I'm a stay at home mom rt now and just wanted extra money. I got concerned bc when u have a USPS money order you are supposed to cash it at a post office not the bank. I'm reporting this as well. do I contact the FBI or FDIC

Thank you I received 3 postal Monet orders for 975.00 it was like wow I could buy stuff for my kids for school but it's too good to be true I'm low income and I really don't have family so who's going to just give me this amount of money I don't want any trouble I'm not going to cash these money orders so I started looking for advise because I'm scared I don't want to go to jail I love my kids and I'd rather be poor then to be greedy for this money and loose my kids because of fraud thankyou for your video I know I'm on the right track to confirm this is a scam GODBLESS YOU N FAMILY

Received one of these fake USPS MO's today in the mail . Same basic thing from "Mystery Shopper' stuff including same basic instructions ( but different mailing address , from and to) . Pretty much knew it was fake right away but came across your video in a search process for more info . Thanks for the video , it did help me notice that the silver strip is definitely fake as a real one is more holographic in nature . Guess I'll be making a phone call too at this point also .

Hey I got one in the mail too! It was for 1,000 dollars and it was filled in with my name. I am glad you put this video on youtube! I felt funny cause the letter said to deposit money order into my acct. I was thinking why? why cant I just cash it and do it that way> Then I said to myself, why would they send me so much when I was only suppose to earn 150.00? it felt funny so this video helped me decide before going to the bank. Thanks for your help

Ours was "from Jim Fox, 145o Johns Lake Rd" - Google maps shows it is a Wal Mart! And it was for $960.00. We're people of faith, and my discernment alarm was going off big-time; so we checked it out, and the discrepancies w/ the address tipped us off. The, a Google search had several sites showing this as a scam.

I wish I had seen this video before last week. I got one in the mail and followed the instructions. Now I am out 975.00 and the bounced check fee. I am with mystery shoppers and thought it was real. It looked just like the one you just showed and I didnt know who to report the scam to, now I know. Thanks.

received one in mail for mystery shopper, once I read assignments I knew it was a scam, I knew they never have you send money to a third party. I too will be getting into contact with the authorities.

I just got this in the mail. I thought it was too good to be true.

Thank you for this video.. I am a secret shopper and this looked very suspicious to me. After I did not cash or deposit the first Priority Mail with two money order. The scammers send me three money order via FedEx.. They are really desperate. I received an email from the scamming mystery shopper asking if I received the money order. I returned the email stating I am going to the Postal Inspectors.. Again thank you for this video to confirm my thoughts.

I am not shock to see this video, however thank you for posting this! I did receive a fake postal money order in the mail, and I then look online to see if in fact this was real. I came across your posting :) God Is Good!! I've been looking for some part-time work due to my disability, and was very up-set to see people wanting and willing to scam innocence. It makes me sick to my stomach; my money order looked so real it was hard to believe it wasn't. Therefore, I thank God for your input and taking the time to help others :)

I too have dealt with these scams. They also mail them in a Express envelope. The company it came from is called "First Class Books" they're out of Arkansas. The company itself isn't involved it's some other party that is doing the scam. Your best bet also would be to get in touch with the Postal Inspector. I hope this helps.

Just got two money orders in the mail and thanks to your video I know it's a scam. Thanks

I received one also and was sceptical right away,I am so glad you posted this video.I do mystery shopping assigments as well and never do they send money.You always mail in your receipt with the evaluation,and you get a check in the mail.I will be going to the authorities! Thank you so much for this video!

Thanks for doing this video. I received a money order today and thought it could be real, I guess wishful thinking because I'm unemployed and really could use a check like this. So tempting but I knew it was too good to be true.

Good for you for bring this to our attention to see. I have seen this about six months ago. A friend got one and one and he received one. He was instructed to take envelope and all to the Post Master General in his town. Yes they look real until I saw the difference.

Yeah I got this exact same USPS money order in the mail. A person using the name Smith Johnson randomly emailed me a few weeks ago using the e -mail title 'Department of Jobs', notifying me that there was a secret shopper position available. All I had to do was give them my basic info- my name, address and phone number to be accepted. I was very skeptical the entire time, but they accepted me and sent me the exact same money order in your video, several days later. Mines was for 950.00.

I have gotten a check on February 4, 2013. I have not done anything with it. I am so glad that I watched your video. This isn't the first check that I have gotten from them.

Right on for not cashing the check and responding to their threats to notify the authorities by counter-threatening to expose all of the scammers' information.

I had this happen to me, but the check I got was for $970.00. I was just smart enough not to deposit it and then when I didn't they emailed me and told me if I tried to steal their money it would be illegal. I responded back to go ahead and notify authorities and tell them I will give them all of your information and that was the last I heard from them.

Just wanted to say thank you for having this video. Today my husband received a similar situation in the mail. In fact with the exception of the letter content wording, darn near identical. Thankfully he did not fall victim to this scam and drag me along as well. We are taking ours to the Post Office and turning it over to them as I am certain by now they have proper handeling procedures for this situaiton. Very Grateful and you saved our identity.

I just got one today. Def gonna call the authorities. Thank you for the vid. Like you, I wouldn't have dpst the MO in my account but go to the post office. Then I said why? Who? How come? Again thanks for the vid. Shared it.

He keeps talking about having his Identity Stolen???? That is NOT THE ISSUE!! If Anyone takes one of these so called USPS Money Order Checks to their Bank to Cash, Your Bank Will STEAL YOUR MONEY RIGHT OUT OF YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT, and IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH IN YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT TO COVER THE CHECK, YOU WILL BE CHARGED/BILLED FOR THE REMAINDER!! THAT is the Issue Here.....NOT IDENTITY THEFT!!

Thank God for your information. This would have been devastating to me. All I was interested in was making a little extra money because I'm disabled and living on a shoe string budget. I was so excited. Couldn't wait to get started. Mine came from a walmart email. I received a check today for 2,179 $. From first financial bank in Abilene Texas. This is a certified check. I get to spend 50$ shopping 200$ for my commission and the rest I send western union to the Philippines. I would have been suicidal over a devastating loss such as this. So thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I received a check today for 998.00 as a mystery shopper and they wanted me to go to money gram and send 778.00 to the Philippines. So thankful for this video.

I got a check for $970 after signing up a few months prior to be a mystery shopper too. I held onto it and have contacted the post office regarding this.

I receive $980.00 money in the mail today. I was about to go cash it. But something said no check it out. I was going to use it to pay rent because we are behind. I thank God I didn't. What you did was great. Thank you. Sorry the name,I'm on my sons you tube account.

I wish I had seen this video before I got taken - same scam. Excellent video dude. Keep up the good work.

I am so glad I saw this video. I almost fell for the David Evans, mystery shopper scam. They are sending me a "package." I will be turning it over to the FBI as soon as I receive it.

@msjifyournasty Heck NO I don't mind! That's fantastic!!! I think everyone should know this and I would like it to be my most viewed video. Nothing about guns but about saving your identity and money. I appreciate your comment and watching my little channel.

Just got this today for 4 money orders of $984.99 now thank god I was smart enough to know something was wrong when they said "put it through my bank" talked to my wife about it, and though money have been tight I wasn't about to set myself up for some scam so googled "money order scam" and this video pop up and this confirm my suspicion. Thanks for this video, now going to contact the FBI and let them know about this.

This is still going on. I just got a money order from Bank of the West and it looks legit as all hell. Also this guy has my cell phone number and has sent me at least 3 messages with an email to boot. Don't have the email anymore from the spam folder auto deleting it or I just killed it outright from the thing looking like spam about a week or so ago sadly. But this is starting to scare me a bit and plan on making a visit to my local attorney general ASAP. Things to look for that I noticed in my case. 1- Using different names. The letter, money order + return address on the package, and cell messages all use their own name. 2- The address is real from looking it up on google maps and is someones home but the homes owner is nowhere near the same as the rest according to yellow pages. 3- Looking up the phone number in the letter is a mobile phone. 4- The letter looks like it is from a school. Has been hit with a 3 hole punch like paper for a school binder and has a page number in the bottom middle center of the page. Thanks for the video. I more or less already knew that this was a scam but this video confirmed it for me. Still scary as hell though with someone being able to know my email, cell number, and home address.

Thanks for this info ℹ, jus opened one of these in the mail 📤 today lol 😆 but I knew that it was a scam bcuz who sends money 💰 orders from the Postal Service in the mail 📤 with no info ℹ about where or why it was mailed to you, wow!!!!!!!!

Just got a check that is identical to the one in the video. Its unbelievable the amount of work people go through for greed. Thanks for sharing and saving us from whatever trouble this may have caused us or set us back!

Couple suggestions.. If you hold a real USPS money order up to a light. You should see the Benjamin Franklin watermark on the left side.. You should not be able to see this water mark away from the light.. Also, the silver ribbon part. When you hold a real USPS money order up to a light, that silver ribbon should look solid.. For more instructions on how to spot a fake USPS money order, you can google "usps money order verification"

Thanks for posting this. I had an inkling it was a scam, and that's why I didn't spend the money...because now I owe it back to the bank plus a fine. (only $25 for stupidity, so I'm not mad about that) but I will close my account on Monday. Thank you for making this video.

By the way - I'm 46 years old, x-military, also X-security (HELLO!!!!) And apparently - yes - "NAIVE"! (But now - educated). Makes me very angry too. Again - EXCELLENT VIDEO! You done good man!
