I've used the postal service claim web site to successfully recover $$$$$.

Casher of money order can not legally keep your funds w/o delivering goods. U.S. D.A. and Post Master will investigate
your fraud case.

To replace a lost or stolen money order, a customer will need to fill our Form 6401 at a Post office and pay a fee of $5.40. After the USPS completes a payment inquiry on the status of the money order, a replacement can be issued.

Good luck with getting USPS to do anything about it. I got took by a scammer a few years ago, paid with a USPS MO, filed a complaint, did all the paperwork, jumped through all their hoops, and still to this day I've not heard a peep back from them.
