I placed a check order , which was stolen enroute and then used in some Florida Walmarts. Walmart 's corporate policy is to NOT check ID's for ANY amount IF Telechek approves them. I am not the only Clarke American Check Co customer that this happened to there has been at least 10 people in my town to whom this happened . All the checks were used at the same Walmarts. My suggestion is to check your checking account often . If you order checks , stay on top of when they should arrive. If you are a victim. Not only file a police report , contact Telechek to notify them they need to put a fraud alert on your account. You will also need to put a fraud alert on your credit with the 3 Credit Bureaus. Hopefully that will slow they theives down from obtaining credit in your name. I also contacted the Postal Inspector, and the Federal Trade Commission.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
I am not sure how many checks they wrote on the other people's account but after I contacted Telechek , there were no more checks accepted on my account. They did write 6 checks totaling over $8600 but since I caught the 1st check coming through the day it happened.I never had any of my checks bounce and cause additional issues.
Where are you located, away from Florida? I would suggest you contact the USPS Inspectors, you have some mail thieves in your area.
