Mail Fraud - Stolen Checks!

[Gilligan]

I agree that the majority of checks are probably the ‘business’ type that you describe, but the check stolen and washed that I wrote for the HOA where I live was in a plain envelope with hand written To and From addresses. Someone at USPS must have noticed the addresses as businesses and snatched it. Bass-turds.

I'm not surprised..I'm sure they've developed techniques for sniffing out all kinds of checks by this point. Basically speaking, any check in the mail is subject to being stolen by regional USPS mafia and they don't give the first sh!t about it.

Every time we send out a "largish" check, even trying to be incognito, we nervously await and constantly look for it to clear cleanly. What a fawkin' way to live. There's a friend of yours...he and I need to go full banana on those clowns...

He’s a big dude. Glad he’s my friend.

Nobody rocked the "cutoff t-shirt in the desert setting" look like he did. A true fashion icon.

Beware that perspiration around the stamps

I haven't had an issue yet, but I've cut my check writing to a bare minimum, couple of checks a year to places that I don't have auto-pay, like the doctor.

I do the incognito thing too, put the bill and check inside their envelope, then put that envelope inside a plain white with hand written addresses, and hope for the best.

I can send you a link to buy the Ranger shorts, D....thank me later.

Somehow.... not sure that would help any.

Maybe if I were 50 years younger.

What's new?


I've finally gotten Mommy Dearest's bills all converted to over-the-phone or electronic. Luckily she only lost one to the mob and was able to stop payment with no charge.

And another thread that has taken a u-turn....

I think there is something wrong with the forum software. Blame David.

That happened in the Geraldo thread.

One minute everyone is hating on Ghee-Raldo... Next minute it's another EV conversation.

My ADD acts up and then there's no telling where a thread might meander...

I got turned into a newt once.

But I got better.

Didn't read anything about stopping the thefts from the DC Distribution Center. What good is a secure blue drop box when it all goes to the criminals in DC to sort?

all that BS and not a word about the USPS' very own internal organized mail theft operations.

I'm sure that bastion of integrity, the FBI, is hard at work getting to the bottom of it.

I'm sure that bastion of integrity, the FBI, is hardly at work getting to the bottom of it.
