National Consumer Protection Week

During National Consumer Protection Week (March 5 - 11, 2017), the U.S. Postal Service partnered with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to increase customer awareness of fraud. On March 7, Inspection Service Miami Division team members were available to speak with customers at the Miami GMF Postal Store. They discussed various fraudulent schemes and set up a table of brochures as takeaways.
