[QUOTE="scratch, post: 501790, member: 1674"] I used to deliver these fake checks doing EAMs all the time. The return address, the check address, and the tracking numbers would all be from different states. These scams will involve the scammers using the internet and prepaid phones to contact their victims. The fake checks will usually be for about three thousand dollars. One of the scams is telling the victim they won some money and they need to deposit these checks right away. They are phishing for bank account numbers. Another type of scam is they are mailing these fake checks in an effort to get the victim to mail back a legitimate check. I had a lady on my route that was a victim of one of these scammers. Somehow her credit card number was stolen and it was used to set up a shipping account and ship hundreds of NDA Letters. I started getting some of these that were refused or had bad addresses being returned to her house. This is when she first became aware of the problem. I told my Center Manager I had at the time and was instructed to just leave these returns in the Center in the morning. They were turned over to LP and nothing was done about it as far as I know. The lady on my area was never contacted by UPS and had to dispute the charges with her credit card company. It would seem to me that when we found out about these scams, a Delivery Intercept could be put on these accounts and put a stop to this. UPS is being ripped off too for theft of our services, there is no telling how much we lose on these things. [/QUOTE]
