This trick is so old...using personal or business checks or money orders that can easily be forged. Cash and carry! If not, I would not accept any payment method that I did not witness being created or is verified.

Examples: Go with buyer to place who "sells" money orders. If legitimate, will probably use credit card to purchase the money order (some places may not accept credit cards to purchase money orders). Anyway, when you witness the payment method being verfied by a legitimate bank or financial entity, you then can feel comfortable about the non-cash payment method being valid.

Caution!!!!
