Mail theft is up substantially. That includes theft from United States Postal Service vehicles and facilities as well as the robbery of mail carriers. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service says the surge is due to organized criminal groups targeting check fraud and identity theft.
Many small business owners are feeling the impact. Checks sent through the mail are being intercepted by bad actors, leading to delayed payments, financial headaches, and worst of all, potential disruptions to your employees’ health coverage. But it can be prevented.
