You should never get scammed with a USPO money order if you take it to the Post office, they have access to check that on site.
If you take your counterfeit check to the bank that issues it, you will never be scammed, they have access to check that.
Where you run into problems is if you deposit a conterfeit check into a bank that did not issue it. They cannot authenticate a check that is not drawn on them.
It has nothing to do with training, it has to with the ability to authenticate the funds. If anything, tellers should be trained to ask a few questions about the origin of the check and be able to explain to people how cashier's checks can be returned against your account.. There is no way anybody can look at a check and tell if it is counterfeit, it has to go to the presenting bank, or it has to be called in to the presenting bank.
I deal with counterfeit checks everyday, I can look at the circumstances surrounding a check and speculate as to whether it is real or not, but until I call or the check is returned I am not 100% sure.
I hope this clears up some common misunderstandings.
