Check Fraud

Check fraud has become a multi-billion dollar racket in the U.S.  In the East Valley most check fraud results from mailbox break-ins. The Phoenix area was already the number one area in the country for mailbox break-ins and the numbers are still climbing. You can help prevent check fraud by depositing your mail in a secured mail receptacle such as the blue collection boxes at the post office -- do not leave outgoing mail accessible to thieves, fill out your check with uni-ball gel ink pens (this ink cannot be washed off with chemicals), and promptly report lost or stolen checks to your bank.
