Ok, so i'm selling my Dell monitor online. I get this email from a lady in spain who says she will buy it at the selling price. She's in Spain so right away, this raises a flag to me. Why would she buy a monitor here?? So I tell her ok, thinking she wont send me anything. She sends me two money orders, in the amount of $1000 each. So she overpaid by a huge amount. She sends an email to me about payment and trust saying how her secretary sent out the wrong amount of money.
So now I have two money orders for $1000 each. Classic scam right? Overpay me, then I compensate and give her the difference. Then it turns out the money she gave me was fake and doesn't clear. Also, the money order was sent with no return address. Another big flag.
But to me, these money orders look pretty darn real!! How can I check to see if these US Postal MOs are real or fake? Why would someone send $2000 for a monitor selling for bout $300. That seems like a huge mistake.
Please advice.
