Usps mail fraud report

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has a process in place for reporting mail fraud. Here are the steps you can follow to report mail fraud:

1. Contact the USPS Office of Inspector General (OIG): The USPS OIG is responsible for investigating mail fraud and other crimes related to the postal service. You can contact the OIG at (877) 876-2455 or oig.usps.gov.
2. File a complaint with the USPS: You can file a complaint with the USPS by visiting their website at usps.com and clicking on the "Contact Us" link. From there, you can select the "Report a Problem" option and fill out the online form.
3. Contact your local post office: You can also report mail fraud to your local post office. They can provide you with a form to fill out and submit to the USPS OIG.

When reporting mail fraud, it's helpful to have as much information as possible, including:

• The date and time the fraud occurred
• A description of the fraudulent activity
• The location where the fraud occurred
• Any relevant documentation, such as receipts or photos
• The name and contact information of the person or business involved in the fraud

Here are some examples of mail fraud that you can report:

• Identity theft: If someone has stolen your identity and is using it to send mail or packages, you can report it to the USPS OIG.
• Credit card fraud: If someone has stolen your credit card information and is using it to make purchases online or by mail, you can report it to the USPS OIG.
• Lottery and prize scams: If you've received a letter or package claiming you've won a prize or lottery, but it's actually a scam, you can report it to the USPS OIG.
• Phishing scams: If you've received an email or letter claiming to be from a legitimate company, but it's actually a scam, you can report it to the USPS OIG.

Remember to always be cautious when receiving mail or packages, and never give out personal or financial information to someone you don't know.
