That is the first thing my son said. I'm thinking it over, since I plan to never use another money order, the saying 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't' keeps popping up. It is a possibility that this might be a little cottage industry for a few employees (or maybe just a badly handled transaction) , but I don't see how in general electronic deposits and debits (unlike paper money orders) can be altered. Maybe I will do a little research on that.
