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.

Schipo: It would be useful information to all of us if you let us know the outcome and what, if any, assistance you get from the Post Office. If it were me, not leaving any stone unturned, I would contact the police in the crook's town and see what assistance they can render. Perhaps he is a multi-time offender. Who knows. Puerto
