Reply to comment by TodayTimeDeux in NJ consumers lost $231M to fraud last year. Here are some tips to avoid becoming a victim by Flashinglights0101

Couldn't get the article. Just curious, I'm an old guy so bear with me. Why do you advise against mailing checks? I haven't seen anything about this. I write way fewer now than just a few years ago but I do use this service.

I didn’t read it - just shared what I learned from customers who got scammed. A woman mailed a check, it got intercepted, the scammer used the numbers on it to transfer money. She only realized after 3k was missing.
