The Wyatt Farm HOA Board has received a report from a homeowner who has had their mail tampered with as part of a credit card scam. The perpetrator(s) apparently obtained a credit card number of the homeowner, possibly by opening a bill from the mailbox. Then they made online purchases with it, having the goods (CDs, DVDs, etc.) sent to the homeowner’s address. They then waited for delivery and took the items out of the mailbox before the homeowner comes home and retrieves the mail.
This scam requires the perpetrator to know that the homeowner is away during the day and be bold enough to retrieve their goods from someone else’s mailbox.
Please double check your credit card statements carefully and keep an eye out for any suspicious activity regarding mailboxes, especially immediately following mail delivery.
