Fraudulent Emails on the Rise

Fraudulent emails are being sent to postal customers.  Although these emails are stating they are from the USPS Global, Global Services, or USPS customer services, they are not USPS emails.

ISbadge6.jpgThe emails tell customers they have a package being held for them and they will be charged for each day the package is unclaimed.  The emails also give the recipient an invalid label number to reference. Once the accompanying link is clicked on, a virus infects the customer’s computer. 

Global Business has already notified the Postal Inspection Service, which is investigating the issue.  

Report fraudulent issues to the Postal Inspection Service via email at spam@uspis.gov.
