And here I thought USPS money orders were 'safe' to use

[MACMan]

Well, they still are,...........as long as the USPS employee that's making out the m/o isn't a thief.

JOSEPH HIGHTOWER says U.S. postal investigators agree he got ripped off last year when he bought a $600 money order to pay his rent.

But no one in the Postal Service can tell Hightower when he'll be refunded the cash he paid to a postal worker at the 30th near Chestnut Street branch on Nov. 23.
