This scam was attempted from craigslist...  NOTE THE MISSPELLED WORD IN THIS FRAUD:
My first clue was the guy's use of a yahoo email account.
He claims to live in Kimball, MN.  Was going to buy this laptop for a friend's
wedding and ship it overseas.  The scam was he was going to send FedEx to pick it up.
I was supposed to believe that this email (below) was an authorized email from the USPS
and that I was supposed to ship based on this.  Yeah, right.

Money Order Security Features
Things to check for to ensure a Money Order is authentic.


Postal Money Orders are safe to use because they have many security
features that help distinguish between real and counterfeit notes. Just
like our own U.S. currency, they are specially designed with different
colored inks, watermarks, and security thread in the paper.

Hold the money order up to the light and look for the following security
features:
Ben Franklin images (watermarks) repeated on the left side (top to
bottom).

A dark security thread running (top to bottom) to the right of the
Franklin watermark, with the tiny letters “USPS” facing backward and
forward

We required a proper verification for shipment, before mailing the
reference number slip of money order.
