Dozens have fallen victim to ‘blue box’ thefts; checks taken out of USPS boxes right in front of post offices, altered, and cashed — draining bank accounts.
It was just a few days before Christmas 2021 when she dropped a check in the mail — $28 for a magazine subscription.
She’s one of dozens and dozens who have fallen victim to"blue box" thefts — checks taken out of USPS boxes right in front of post offices, altered, and cashed, draining bank accounts. Ramachandran says for banks, it is about cost versus convenience because defrauded customers are required to get their money back.
“So they had to go through their whole investigation and the bank and to get their money back from the bank where the check was cashed before I would get my money back,” she said. She eventually received a letter from the Department of Justice earlier this year stating that the people involved in her check fraud were caught, but as News 5 has been reporting, the thefts have continued.
