A former U.S. Postal Service worker has been convicted of stealing hundreds of checks and credit cards from the mail while on duty.
Mary Ann Magdamit, 31, pleaded guilty on August 11 in federal court to stealing checks and credit cards during a three-year spree in California.
She pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, a felony, in connection with the stolen cards, some of which she sold to accomplices.
She activated the bank cards online and used the illegally obtained funds to take trips to exotic destinations, and buy jewelry and luxury handbags.
She cashed the checks using counterfeit identity documents in the name of the check payee.
The feds began to suspect Magdamit of fraud when she flaunted stacks of cash on Instagram.
Federal agents raided her apartment in December 2024 and seized 133 stolen credit and debit cards, 16 U.S. Department of Treasury checks, and a loaded, Glock “ghost gun” with a switch and an extended 27-round magazine.
Agents also discovered luxury goods she purchased with stolen cards, including a Rolex wristwatch. She also used stolen cards to pay for international trips to Turks and Caicos and Aruba, according to the indictment.
The Filipino-American posted photos of her ill-gotten gains on her now-deleted Instagram page under the username @yourfawkenmom.
Feds arrested Magdamit on July 1, 2025 after learning she continued to use stolen credit credits to make luxury purchases.
After taking Magdamit into custody, agents seized more stolen credit cards from her apartment. She remains in federal custody.
Magdamit agreed to forfeit her Rolex watch and other luxury goods. The feds seized cash and bank accounts. Her co-conspirators were not arrested.
Magdamit’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 27. She faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison. She must serve 85% of her federal prison sentence before she can be paroled.
