    Police are encouraging people to take mail —especially checks — directly into a Post Office to send money. This ensures that no one accesses your mail besides postal workers, police say.

    If you've been a victim of this crime, Suffolk police encourage you to report it by calling them at 757-923-2350 or the FTC at www.ic3.gov.
