They are supposed to copy your driver's license/state/federal issued photo id info. Adding a layer by using credit card - also adds another party in the chain. The bottom line - something has you wondering out loud on this deal. Listen to your gut...and walk away. Report this Post to the Staff

I've cashed them at two different ones including one thats a major distribution hub for our area so its not like a small PO with a lazy worker. Even if mine are just being lazy (maybe its because I go there so much they all know me by now) that really would just help arrest the person. It wouldnt do any good for getting your money back once its cashed. Report this Post to the Staff

For $50 you would risk losing that amount of money is the way I'd look at it. Better safe than sorry if you can't risk it. Report this Post to the Staff
