Beware of Postal Inspector Scam

Scam Alert!!! There's a new scam making the rounds. Take Notice: The scam works like this. You get a call from a fake “Postal Inspector,” using a technique known as Caller ID Spoofing to make these calls appear to originate from the Postal Inspection Service “877” phone number. The caller will explain you have been involved in criminal activity or your assets will be forfeited if you don’t send money to a USPIS account. Don’t take the bait. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service® does not call customers from the “877” phone number and we will never request personally identifiable information or ask you to send money to resolve any issue no matter where the call originated.

If you receive this call, report it to the real Postal Inspectors at 877-876-2455. Remember this phone number works like a one way street. You call us to report a crime, and we will take your complaint, but we will never call you back from this number. Let's stop these scammers in their tracks.
