Thank you Juneau County Sheriff’s Office for the information.
🚨 Fraud Alert: Check Washing Scam on the Rise
We want to make our members aware of a recent increase in fraud involving mailed check payments to Discover. Individuals have reported that after mailing a check to pay their Discover bill, the check was intercepted, altered (washed), and cashed for large amounts by unknown individuals.
To help protect yourself from this type of fraud, we strongly recommend using alternative payment methods for your Discover bill whenever possible, such as online payments, mobile app payments, or automatic transfers.
Your financial safety is our top priority. If you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account, please contact us right away.
Stay safe and vigilant! 💙
