We have reported​ time and time again​ on thefts​ involving those official blue United States Postal Service mailboxes.

What's new in this case is several of Spyropoulos' checks were stolen. Fraudsters took his checks and changed the pay-to line and amount – so the bad guys got the money - and lots of it.

Spyropoulos now has an employee help him pay some bills electronically. For other bills, Spyropoulos says he walks down the street and hand-delivers checks."They're not going to take $7,500 away from me – when I'm working 18 hours a day, and let them have $7,500 - refusing to pay for their mistake."More than a year after the check was mailed, Spyropoulos finally got his money back. As to what happened, the short answer was bank error.

It was after Spyropoulos' attorney contacted Chase, and CBS 2 inquired, that the bank"reviewed the case further and resolved the claim." Customers should always be careful when using checks. The checks you write can include your name, address and bank account number, which can leave you vulnerable to fraud if they fall into the wrong hands. If you need to write a check, remember some key tips:Make sure to use the whole line or draw a line to the end when writing the payee's name on the check where you write who the check is payable to, so no one can add an additional name or another additional information.

Ask if they accept other payment methods like electronic payments or Zelle and make sure you know who you are sending money to.Don't sign the back of a check you are presenting for deposit or cashing at a later timeA few other tips that can also help you:
