> The Secret Service memo doesn’t specify at what point in the mail process the crooks are intercepting the cards. It could well involve U.S. Postal Service employees (or another delivery service), or perhaps the thieves are somehow gaining access to company mailboxes directly. Either way, this alert shows the extent to which some thieves will go to target high-value customers.
The idea that employees of delivery companies might be conspiring to do these large scale scams is terrifying.
- lightedman 9y agoOh, this is nothing. You don't realize just how much stuff 'drops off the docks' or is 'beyond economical repair' in logistics. I remember when a ton of Sony stuff disappeared from the repair depot I worked at. Boy that was a fun day. 300 laptops, freshly repaired that week, gone from the warehouse. Never even made it to the shipping lanes on the other side of the warehouse. And no camera footage despite every angle being covered from the repair store cage to the shipping lanes.
