A Los Angeles woman who flaunted luxury goods and wads of cash on social media has been sentenced to federal prison for stealing credit cards and cashing other people’s checks to fund her lavish lifestyle.
On Monday, Mary Ann Magdamit, 31, of Carson, admitted to conspiring to commit bank fraud while working as a U.S. Postal Service worker in Torrance.
From 2022 until July 2025, she stole mail containing checks, debit and credit cards, and personal identifying information, and then activated the stolen cards to make luxury purchases and take international trips to tropical locales.
...
Magdamit remains in federal custody, and has agreed to forfeit a Rolex watch and other luxury goods after pleading guilty to her charges.
She is due in court on Oct. 27, and could face up to 30 years in federal prison.

“We had multiple checks stolen and cashed after depositing the letters inside the PO”
I’ve had tax return checks stolen and on one occasion a check that was mailed was never received by the intended recipient. I only send checks or any other monetary instrument by UPS or FedEx now.
i laugh at the EBT people who brag and brag and then later a video comes out that they have to pay back. Just saw one where she said she has to pay back $27k and said people should mind their own business
one of the more obnoxious ones is always bragging she has a plug in the EBT office who takes care of “me and mines”. Always dancing around and acting like a fool with the EBT groceries.
In New Mexico decades ago, you could cash S.S. checks without ID for 25% to 50% of face value. A check cashing ring was funneling the checks through various “stores” in New Mexico. Traveling through New Mexico i saw many billboards saying “Checks cashed- no ID required.” It took years of investigating to shut it down.
we are now living in the LBJ / Ted Kennedy version of multicultural America. They were commie sympathizers and hated 1950s America with an intense passion so here we are.
Puerto Rican?
I always put my stash of stolen goods on Facebook. What could go wrong?
metmom, wut up?
Rough week between my food reactions and mr. mm having shingles.
At least Jao Bi Dung is not Present any more. Take care you and Mr MM.
“Voting by mail is safe and secure”
LOL! About half of those look photocopied, going by the color of the paper!
I need to get that shingles vaccine. All my best to you and Mr. MM…
I think you are right about huge fraud rings in the post office. I’ve heard some of those USPS employees actually bragging about taking things.
I’ve read up on side effects of the vaccine. Not for me especially in light of the way I react to vaccines.
Now that we know what to look for and how it progresses we’ll get it sooner.
Half of all post office employees are below average.
Baffled how she was caught.
Idiots don't realize that when they steal from others, THEY are the ones making it someone else's business.
I had someone on a thread in the last few days insisting he mailed checks all the time, that it was no problem.
The USPO has been a train wreck in the ATL area for several years. I suspect DEI.
We had that same thing going on in N. ATL suburbs. I knew the chief of police, heard about it from him, they were involved in the investigation, but it got into the Postal Inspection Service pretty quickly. This about half a dozen years ago.
That’s one of the questions axed for prospective employees - “have you ever quit because you were under investigation?”
They lowered the bar considerably for hiring, and it shows. They should hang anybody who steals Christmas cards from Grandma. The clerks or carriers (or Supervisors) would riffle through the letters - a red envelope or whatever. Just scum.
