Answer 2

Doesn't it say who it's from?

Did you get it in the mail? What does it say on the envelope? Where was it mailed from?

Be aware that most unsolicited money orders are fake, and mean that somebody is about to try to scam you. Do *NOT* assume that the money is real unless and until you've taken it to the post office and they've cashed it for you.

Answer 3

Why would WE know ?  You're the one who received it.

Did it come with any letter? What did it say? Who sent it to you?
