My checking account was hacked because of the US Postal Service.
Someone stole an envelope containing a check to pay our electric bill, after it was mailed, removed the payee and the amount, then substituted an amount of over $3,000 writing in the account line that it was a holiday gift, and then deposited the check into their account.

(The last act was like a holdup man taking your watch and wallet at the point of a gun while wearing a mask, and then handing you their business card. The thief was not a genius.)

My bank caught it, did not honor the check in the end - although the money was briefly removed from our account but then credited back to it. We didn't lose anything, but our account was canceled because of the breach, which we did not realize for several days over the holidays until I went to use my ATM card. We spent several hours in a bank branch handing the structuring of a new account.

It sucked.

I can't believe we can't fire Louis Dejoy.

I can't believe a DUmmie has 3k in a checking account to begin with.

There’s some really entertaining stupidity in that thread.

I once tipped a valet with a check at a hospital, few weeks later the guy quit and changed my $5 tip to $50.

Tipping with a check, what a tool 

. We spent several hours in a bank branch handing the structuring of a new account.

Several hours to “structure “ a checking account? 

I now pay utility bills at the kios machine at their office. For others, I get free cashiers checks from my bank because I’m so nice to the tellers.

I bet the tellers duck below the counter when they see him coming.

She found out debit cards quit working when your account is empty.

Living the high life of a low level weed distributor... 

Either that or the SS Disability had just been deposited.

Somebody steals a check and commits fraud and this is somehow the fault of the Postmaster General?

It is never a leftists fault: it must be a MAGA Republican.
