FTF cash money gonna be the safest. USPS Money Orders are faked all the time. Cashiers check the same way.......

I supposed you could cash it, then wait about 10 business days to make sure it's cleared all the banks..

Be careful.

It can take 5 to 6 weeks before a bogus check is found to be fraudulent. That goes for Cashiers Checks, Money orders (no matter where they're from)

I just wouldn't do it period. If I had something to sell, and I couldn't sell it to someone I know and/or trust, or to an established member here on OSA, then I'd put it back in the safe.
