Default Postal Order

I have a crossed Postal Order payable to me.

Can I go to a PO and get cash or does it have to go into a bank account? If so do I just pay into bank like a cheque (assume yes)?

AFAIK, the crossing means it must only be paid to you. I THINK you can have cash or pay it into an account.

Wrong: http://www.postoffice.co.uk/finance/.../faqs#42900267

Can only be paid into a bank, or PO savings account.

Pay it in to your bank, go to cash machine, withdraw cash, simples!

Done it many times.

It's like a cheque once its crossed, only difference is it won't bounce.

Just curious Mike,

Do scammers ever try and fake Postal Orders or are the amounts too small to bother with?

I hear of fake cheques, bankers drafts etc but never postal orders...
