I Received a Money Order in the Mail from Someone I don’t Know, What Should I do?
|
I just received a money order in the mail from someone that I do not know, and I am unemployed and have been unemployed for almost two years. Also, I just received an email this morning, stating that I need to cash the money order, send portions of it to two specific people and keep 10% of it to myself. Should I do as the email said, rip up the money order or send it back? |

You should contact the postmaster general in your area, and the police department. This is almost certainly an illegal activity in which the instigator is trying to involve you.
