I read about a money order fraud sent by “Joe Smoke” with for one thousand dollar money orders made in Edmonton, mailed from Africa (I don’t recall which country) and received in Edmonton two days later. There were no security measures on the money order and three sides were a clean cut with the fourth perforated.

The money orders were to buy a motorcycle to be picked up by a representative from the USA.
Very pro, don’t you know? :laughing:
