General Graphics Dennis Hunt Fake USPS Money Order Houston, Texas
Fedex arrived today with a USPS money order for $870.00. According to USPS site this is counterfeit money order. Looks adequate, but is missing some watermarks.
We have no idea who this individual or business is. The address is residential, and Dennis Hunt's address is different than the one on the FedEx return address.

Called the USPS fraud hotline, and they have an automated service that lets you put the serial no, amount and PO number. Came back as fraudulent. Turned it in to the local post office.

The business or person the money order has NOTHING to do with this. These scammers use legitimate company names to try and not only hide who they really are, but if anyone ever tries to go after them they go after the wrong person. As you noticed the check and location the envelope arrived were from totally different places. Very often they will use fake addresses such a vacant lot.
The scam generally includes a letter in the envelope or the person has been talking to someone who has told them what to do with the Money Order. These scammers want the person to deposit the check and then send them a good portion of cash back. The remainder they are told is their "fee" for what ever job they are being "paid" to do.
The problem is that they deposit the check/money order, send them the cash through Western Union. Only to find out several days later that the check/money order was bad. They are then left to pay back the bank.
These people are not even in the US and with all the fake information makes it next to impossible to catch. This is why no matter what the reason, you NEVER cash a check from someone you do't know personally if they want you to send them any portion of it back.
