EDMOND, Oklahoma -
An Edmond woman is shocked to learn someone stole her checks from a USPS collection box, washed the ink off and tried cashing it.
The scam is called ‘check washing.’
Sally Ruhl says she put three checks in a USPS collection box located in the Crest Foods parking lot near the intersection of 15th Street and Santa Fe Ave. on Saturday night.
“I heard that people in secluded areas might break into mailboxes, but I didn’t think it would be a location that it would happen because it is so busy,” said Ruhl.
