SMUG pictures of a former postal worker showing off stacks of cash and lavish trips have emerged after she was caught stealing.
Mary Ann Magdamit, 31, admitted to pocketing credit cards, debit cards, and checks on the job to fuel her lifestyle, which included tropical vacations and Rolex watches she flaunted online.
Magdamit pleaded guilty to the fraud on Monday after she was first arrested on July 1.
Her sick scheme lasted three years as she worked at the Torrance Main Post Office in southwestern Los Angeles County, California.
The former mail carrier stole mail containing checks, debit and credit cards, and personal information while working at the post office from 2022 to July 2025, the US Attorney’s Office said.
She would activate the cards and cash the checks online and then use them to make massive purchases.
On her Instagram, Magdamit proudly showed off the stolen money in sick pictures showing her posing with stacks of hundred-dollar bills held up next to her face.
She shared pictures of piles of money sitting in her lap while sitting in the driver’s seat of her car.
One snap shared on her Instagram story showed a tall stack of bills that was captioned, “You ever been hurting while grinding??”
Magdamit wasn’t shy about flaunting the expensive items she bought with money she stole from unknowing USPS customers, including a Rolex watch and designer items from Louis Vuitton and Dior.
The mail thief also shared pictures from glamorous vacations to Turks and Caicos, Hawaii, and Aruba, where she used stolen cards on her international trips.
One photo showed her lounging by a pool with a glass of champagne as she wrote, “Life is goood.”
Magdamit, who is from the Philippines, also sold stolen cards to other people who allegedly helped her cash stolen checks by making fake IDs.
“Federally insured banks and credit unions were victimized in this scheme,” the Justice Department said.
None of Magdamit’s alleged co-conspirators has been arrested, the Department of Justice said.
Police caught on to the plot and searched Magdamit’s apartment in December 2024.

Cops seized 133 stolen credit and debit cards as well as 16 US Department of Treasury checks from her home.
They also found a loaded ghost gun.
Despite the damning discoveries, Magdamit wasn’t arrested until July, when the feds found out she was still buying things with the victims’ stolen cards, the DOJ said.
They raided her apartment again and found more stolen cards.
She’s been in federal custody since then. The Torrance Police Department didn’t immediately return The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
On Monday, Magdamit pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
Her sentencing hearing is set for October 27. She faces up to 30 years in federal prison.
