Personally I think someone at the post office has to have been involved. There was a rash of them for about 2 months on the NW Side. I had to make police reports and fill out a fraud affidavit. Also, a friend's son wrote a check for around 100 to renew his LLC and someone cashed it for 2400. My secretary wrote a check and mailed to a court reporter for $240 and they cashed it for $9999.00. That was on my business TRUST account which is pretty flush with cash because I need it to be. It took longer to get that money back because it was a business account not personal, and they don't have the same "customer protection" stuff LOL. They sell pens now that you can't "wash" with nail polish I guess.
That does sound internal to the post office. I can't see how that is mail being taken out of the mailboxes. Some USPS employees were also involved in voter fraud. This sounds like yet another case of laws not being enforced. Also, USPS potential employees not being properly checked out before hiring. Affirmative action and labor shortage maybe?
No, I have had it happen to me twice. It's a real thing.
How do the criminals get a hold of the checks? From getting them out of a public mail box?
The number of fraudulent transactions from online activities is off the charts.
