I received a fedex package that day with a money order in it.
The money order was for $955.19. I attempted to cash it at a check cashing store. The store informed me it was no good and told me that they could not give me back the money order.
I also got a e-mail saying that the e-mail I responded to did not go through. It is copied below.
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mx0.gmx.com.
