Reports of check fraud have steadily risen since 2020, with stimulus checks becoming a target.
There were 680,000 reports of check fraud in the US in 2022, compared to 350,000 in 2021.
Don't put checks in the mail, the US Postal Service is warning.
The Postal Service investigated and Fischgrund has recovered about 70% of the revenue, but some of the cases haven't yet been resolved.
Fischgrund said he'd never previously had an issue with check fraud in the nearly 10 years he has run his own business.
