In response to "You were sent the counterfeit money orders in trade for a different transaction you were involved in that you failed to mention in your report. It isn't the bank's responsibility to verify the validity of your deposit."
I was not involved in any other transaction. We had no other requests for money...and considering this chain of banks has always checked legitimacy of checks and money orders for me ahead of cashing/depositing before, I had no reason to believe they would do otherwise. My mother works for this bank as well and my family has done business there for generations, for crying out loud. We have never dealt with a life insurance policy before so, we had no idea what would be coming.
The bottom line is this. We got two money orders with the name and address listed as the sender. We saw no gain anyone could get from us cashing what we thought were legitimate money orders so, we followed through with our normal handling.

Think about it. Why would an insurance company pay claims with money orders? They would send a check. Money received from an insurance payout is a benefit not a dividend.
