postal Money order and fraud?

I paid using a postal money order in the amount of 130.00 to a party in another state. I have not received any feedback from this person and no this was not an Audiogon member but another popular site on the internet.I am thinking that yes I have been taken, so I am asking any in the Audiogon community if I should contact the post office and would this constitute postal fraud or does it have to be over a chosen amount? I wish all a Happy Thanks Giving and enjoy.

If a crime is committed and the US Postal Service is involved, then it's mail fraud.

If the crook was using a fake ID you're probably sunk. But definitely ask the PO, they're sure to have a procedure. Best of luck.

I did a search and found his name and face on "Facebook" I found this to be to much of a coinsidense.The name and address are all in the same. And I thank all of you for your feedback and I am hoping it will help all.
