I for sure am NOT mistaken. My wife deals with this every day at work, there is several fake money orders around but one of the worst they deal with is postal m/o. I refuse to take them now for payment, not only the bank she works at but both my other banks one in town and another out of state, give me trouble with cashing them. I buy and sell parts all the time and this if far from my first go around with money orders and banks.
Cash or a wire transfer is a good choice.
