🚨 Watch Out for Check Washing Fraud 🚨 Scammers are getting sneaky—don’t let them steal your hard-earned money. What’s happening? Fraudsters are stealing checks from the mail and using chemicals to “wash” away your handwriting. Then, they change the payee and amount, and cash the check before anyone realizes what’s happened. 💡 Here’s how you can protect yourself: ✔️ Collect your mail promptly—don’t let it sit overnight ✔️ Use pens with permanent black ink when writing checks ✔️ Avoid leaving blank spaces on your checks ✔️ Sign up for Informed Delivery at USPS.com ✔️ Double-check your bank statements and check images regularly ✔️ When possible, use electronic payments instead of mailing checks If you suspect your check was stolen or altered, act fast. 📞 Call BankFirst at (877) 441-2784 🚔 Report it to your local police 📬 File a report with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at uspis.gov/report 🛡️ We’re here to help you stay safe and secure.
