It seems to me my friend, that you are the Nigerian scammer. Judging by your
poor grasp of English. Perhaps you're just testing the water to see if
people here would suspect a Nigerian scammer of underhanded activity if he
were to pay for an item with postal orders.

There is no risk of the seller being ripped off if the postal orders are
cashed. I suppose the only dodgy thing I could imagine involving postal
orders is if they've been stolen from a post office or while they were in
the mail. This might be discovered a while after they've been cashed by the
post office. But then they'd only have the recipient's name on the postal
orders, not an address or any other details, so the recipient should not be
at any risk whatsoever.
