Check fraud is already becoming a rampant problem and some believe overstuffed mail collection boxes in Plano aren't helping to slow it down.
The 76-year-old retiree dropped it off in a collection box outside the U.S. Postal Service branch on Coit Road in Plano. Soon Strauss was getting alerts from his banks about possible fraud on his account. Both mailed checks were stolen and rewritten to other people for higher amounts, a process called washing and cashing.
Strauss believes he became a victim because for months, the two outdoor collection boxes at the branch have been so packed with mail at times, anyone could easily reach in and grab whatever they wanted. Some of these photos were taken around the time Strauss had his mail stolen.Other Plano residents have complained about it and a frustrated postal customer even placed a sticker on one of the boxes saying"we actually do not pick up at 5, hence the overflowing box.
"Unfortunately, when I mailed the letters, whoever was supposed to empty that mailbox was one of those people who didn't care," he said.
