Your first glance will tell you a lot about the money order. Look for print that is shifted off to the right or the left of where it should be. Print that doesn't line up should be your first give-away. Your next point to check is the reddish/pink spot in the bottom center of the money order, just above the MICR line. This is a temperature sensitive ink that will change color to white (color design disappears). While my hands are warm enough to change them in a second or two, some persons may take a few seconds. If the color refuses to change, it is certainly a fake. Counterfeit Money Grams will rarely be printed on professional printing equipment, but some are. When you are looking at the MICR line (the odd-shaped numbers and symbols across the bottom of a money order or check), the numbers should be crisp, not fuzzy along the edges. If the numbers are fuzzy, the money order was printed on an ink-jet and is not valid. The hardest fake ones to detect are the ones that are printed on stolen Money Gram paper. While rare, they are out there. These will have the microprint and color changing ink as the real ones should, as it is the real paper. And, if the person that created it uses a laser printer, it may not have fuzzy numbers. Easy enough - contact Money Gram and verify the money order. Working in a bank, I have seen some really good fakes. But, I have yet to see one that couldn't be figured out before the call for verification.
