Mail theft and check washing

Mail theft and check washing

Many of us have read about mail theft and check washing. It recently happened to one of our clients sending in a check to Smarter Bear. The thief stole the letter, changed the payee on the check, and deposited it in their own account. The bank is investigating. When sending money - try to find a secure electronic method as the first choice. If you must mail a check - bring the letter in to the post office. Don't use the blue mailboxes on the street or even in front of the post office.
