It amazed me but after a little research fake postal money orders are fairly common.

A certified check may be a better way. Depending on the relationship/standing you have with your bank you may be able to get them for free. I happen to be a member of the private client group at my bank. It is great and I am nowhere near wealthy by any standard. I get unlimited, from what I understand, cashiers checks. If I want a bank m.o. I would still pay. I have not used it that much, but it will come in handy later this year when I buy a new car. I believe the regular fee is $10 or so.
