Not exactly new.

I had a guy offer to buy a car if I sent it to England.

He would arrainge shipping which was claimed to be about $4500 US.

I knew the offer was because of warnings posted on craigslist.

I played along and received a letter with $5500 dollars worth of Postal Money Orders.

I took one to the post office and had the lady run it through the machine. I was kicked out over and over again

Some of the bogus MOs art was pretty bad. Actually, two cachiers and I debated whether the watermark picture of Ben Franklin looked more like The Grim Reaper or The Zig Zag Man.
