**September 6, 2023 - **

We have seen a recent rise in check cashing scams where the scammers are cashing physical checks using stolen identity markers such as IDs, credit cards, etc. This has sometimes followed a car break-in, during which personal items are stolen.

If you happen to have a similar instance or have any forms of ID stolen from you, we encourage you to contact us at 802-658-0225 so that we can help prevent similar fraudulent incidents.
