A bank customer discovered his retirement savings drained after a thief stole a personal check, rewrote, and cashed it
The checks are in the mail, and unfortunately thieves these days are well-aware of that. Reports of mail theft are soaring nationwide, as criminal rings now steal,"wash," and rewrite personal checks."I mean this is his life savings," he said.But it was no mistake: Someone stole more than $90,000 from Duffy's dad's bank account, almost his entire retirement.
He says believes the check was stolen from a blue on-street mailbox in February, by a thief with a master mailbox key, according to news reports of a key theft in the area.The crook then changed the recipient's name and amount, and cashed the check. Instead, the brazen thieves wrote in $32,000 , and were able to deposit or cash the check, Duffey says. But worse, using his dad's signature, routing number, and account number, the sophisticated crooks printed more checks for thousands of dollars more.
