<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 4000921, member: 20480&quot;]While at the FUN Show I received an order for a coin on my website, payment for which would be by money order.&nbsp; I emailed the buyer that I was away, but would be back in the office Monday, and would process the order once the deposit cleared my account.&nbsp; He indicated that, since there&#039;d be a delay, he&#039;d appreciate Express Mail service, and was willing to pay extra for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I received the MO yesterday, and noted that it looked okay to me, but not great.&nbsp; It was issued not by the USPS or by Western Union, but by Sigue Corporation.&nbsp; It had a fairly crude look to it, but I figured that might be attributable to being issued by a second-tier service.&nbsp; Some upstarts and low budget operations use obsolete equipment to contain their expenses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because I&#039;ve always been wary of falsification of money orders, I called Sigue Corporation to validate the MO serial number and amount of the funds to be claimed, but was told I&#039;d have to call a different number during regular business hours.&nbsp; An hour ago I called that number, and the automated system informed me that the MO was made out for $100 more than the one in my hand, and it cleared the cashing bank on the very day mine was issued . . . I&#039;m holding an altered reproduction of a genuine money order!</p><p><br /></p><p>So, now that I know I&#039;ve got a bad apple on the other end, I want to have a little fun . . . I have some ideas, but am open to your suggestions as to how to handle this &quot;buyer&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts?&nbsp; Nothing illegal, mind you . . . just fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
