POSTAL MONEY ORDERS – HOW TO KNOW IF IT’S REAL? 

Helpful Hints from the Postal Inspector’s Office.

#1 – Hold the money order up to the light.  Do you see Ben Franklin’s face in the white oval?  If not, it’s counterfeit.

#2 – The eleventh digit of the serial number is a check digit.  If you get more than one and they are in sequence by the 11th digit, they are counterfeit.

#3 – There should be a security thread running top to bottom that says USPS over & over in the left half of the money order.

#4 – Currently the counterfeiters seem to prefer the denominations $750, $850, and $950.  If you receive money orders for these amounts, be extremely cautious.

NEED ADDITIONAL HELP?  When you call 1-800-868-2443 to verify the Postal Money Orders, you can verbally say “Customer Service” and the system will recognize your voice commands and put you through to a HUMAN.
