Someone from Florida got a hold of my credit card number and quickly ran up a couple grand in a matter of minutes. Luckily my bank caught it and shut it down.

Not sure if y'all have heard of "check washing" yet but I almost got hit for a lot of $$ out of my business account. Short version: got call from Sherrif in SC. They pulled a car full of "thugs" on I-95 along with very sophisticated printers & imaging equipment along with over $500k in checks they were taking to Charleston to a check cashing place that was part of their ring.
Here's the kicker... I put check in post office slot going to the other business post office box, so no mailboxes.
They have people that work for them at post offices who take the mail bags home every night & go through them looking for checks. Sons of bitches.
I try not to ever mail checks anymore. Either bank ACH or fed ex
