I'd thought of that. If I bought one for the $860, took it home and scanned it, then returned to the P.O. and redeemed it myself, I'd only be out the fee for the order--not much.

I told 'em this morning that I couldn't start the truck to make it to the bank by noon, stalling until at least Monday. It will be next week sometime when they'd be led to believe that a money order was purchased. I may scan an old receipt and doctor the image to be sufficiently leading and confusing, as I'm not going to bother with actually buying one.

But before that, I'll tease 'em with the idea that I'm driving out there for a face-to-face transaction...or maybe that I have a friend there who is going to stop by and check it out. I might get a phone number out of them, which could help with further shenanigans.
