bank service charges

Today I went to the bank to try to deposit an international money order. But after the teller patiently explained to me using hand motions, pictures, and an electronic Japanese-English dictionary that after the bank service charges I would be getting about 1% of the original amount back I decided not to deposit it. Depending on the service charge of the foreign bank I could have even owed money had I decided to deposit it. That's just ridiculous.

That is ridiculous.

Is it like lost money then? If you send it back home, can the sender retrieve the original amount.

What a scam.
