Re: 10%
It is a scam. You cash the money order, return the 90% and then the money order turns out to be no good. Your bank takes the 90% out of your account and the scammer takes off with your money. Report the scammers to the US Postal Inspectors. To do this, contact the US POST Office and they will help you.
Good luck.
