Rent Money Order stolen and cashed...my options ?

Reliable tenant sent Western Union Money Order for $575 on 31 July.

I notified tenant on 11 August that it hadn’t arrived and asked if she could track it.

Asked her again 14 Aug.

On 18 Aug , Sent her a link about how to cancel a money order and have it reissued.

21 August, tenant asserts that she knows how to cancel a check, and only now looks to find out that it was cashed on the 18th.

Let’s me know she has address to send copy to Western Union and will let me know “when she gets it in”

From what I understand, WU will just send copies of front and back of cashed check. Period. IE no refund for fraud.

Any advice? I’m not rich.
