During my years as a Postmaster I was shocked at how many people fell for these scams. I saw many fake money orders and fake checks, and I have seen people buy $2500 worth of laptops at WalMart and mail them to Russia, even though I begged them not to do it. For a while, it got so bad that I had my clerks notify me when a customer was mailing a package to Russia, or Kenya or Nigeria, so I could question the customer. Many of them were mailing laptops and phones and they had already received the fake money order in payment. I gave 1 cent Postal Money orders to all of the local banks so the banks could compare real money orders to the fake ones that the banks were receiving from their customers.

It is happening all of the time and the scammers are getting rich.
