 TITLE: The Difference Between a Money Order and a Cashier’s Check CONTENT: Protecting Against Money Order and Cashier's Check Fraud\n--------------------------------------------------------\nAlways make sure you are purchasing your money orders and cashier's checks from reputable vendors. And remember to fill out your information on the money order to avoid anyone stealing it or using it for other purposes. Also keep your receipts for certified checks and money orders; that way, if you need to stop the funds for some reason, you can contact the issuer and follow their instructions for cancelling the payment.\nAlso watch out for situations where you may be accepting money orders from another party. These documents, while secure if authentic, can be easily forged and may fool an unsuspecting eye.\nTo learn more about protecting yourself from fraudsters, check out Experian's guide on fraud and identity theft.
