Anyone hear about http://www.postalmoneyorder.com/

I have a watch on craigslist and got an email from this firm stating they have a USPS Money Order for me that they will release to me when I give them a verified tracking number.

I’m concerned that this is another scam. Any comments?? THANKS

Never heard of them, but that doesn't mean it's a scam. Looking at that website, I wouldn't be shipping someone a watch based on them saying they will release the money order to you. That's not how it usually works.....buyer sends you the money order.....you send him the watch after you get the money order. That's the only way I'd do it.

It's a scam. That website is nothing more than a holding site for the postalmoneyorder.com domain. Whoever registered the domain no doubt did so for the purpose of ripping people off.

Being ane employee for the USPS, I've never heard of this either. You can buy stamps, delivery confirmation, and arrange for packages to be picked up to ship out, but I've never heard of such a thing. Try the website www.usps.com and see if it's a service offered there. If it's not, then it's definetly a scam.

THANKS for the info.

I sent them a confirmation # for a package I shipped to someone else. It will be interesting to see if they send any money.

Another one of those deals that sounds too good to be true.

Sellers beware!
