When a criminal uses the internet and postal money orders to scam people, there is no money to be found when he is caught. He goes to jail, he has no income so you'll get nothing back. In my case there was a national case against the guy(he scammed people all over the US and the world) but there was a limited number of people allowed to file against him. Some people might be getting $.01 a month as the guy stamps out license plates in jail, but basically the money is gone. If the scammer is dumb enough to give you his real address and name then you have a chance to recover something. I'm just saying the you shouldn't be fooled into thinking postal money orders are any safer for sending money, they aren't.
