How many attackers are local to you? This requires proximity obviously, I just have to think that’s even more rare.
Maybe there are niche credit card thieves that like to target just the area they live in. Seems like a lot of additional risk as now you aren’t just committing CC fraud but also mail fraud.
- abarringer 8y agoI work in the Credit card industry. Account origination fraud using the real address is a thing. The bad guys hire mules to check mailboxes daily until the card arrives. This would greatly simplify that task.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoAh, mules. That makes more sense because people are really stupid. Takes the locality requirement off the “brains” of the operation.
- dawnerd 8y agoLuckily usps requires all new development to use cluster boxes so that should put an end to it for any new house.
