Several different mail problems have been reported lately.
Unwanted mail is a particularly boring aspect of life, and you probably receive more than your fair share. Recently, the Sioux City Police Service of Sioux City, Iowa, issued a warning concerning a separate counterfeit article that residents received by post.
According to a message on theFacebook page of the police department, the residents obtained stamps in their mailbox which they did not order. It was not only a thoughtful gift: the stamps were counterfeit and sent by China. The recipients have been warned to avoid using these stamps because they could lead to the confiscation of your mail, officials warned.
But although it can be annoying to have your letters withdraw and to report to the US Postal Inspection Service (USPI), another form of spam could be even more dangerous and put your private financial information in danger.AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
Keep an eye on this the next time you head for your mailbox.
Many of us are tired of hearing about scams and fraud attempts, but unfortunately, the intriguers continue to become more artisanal. Instead of simply targeting yourself by phone or e-mail, fraud attempts are now retro and are made by mail.
June 13, sheriffDavid L. Dauzat of the parish of Avoyelles in Louisiana issued a warning concerning shipments which were sent todefraud citizens, according to a press release. The letters include the name of Dauzat, the reading "Re: Dauzat Sheriff, date of purchase of 07/2020, a potential warranty parade", which can encourage recipients to think that they get a legitimate warning. A specific shipment sent to a targeted victim has shown that crooks were trying to sell the US "coverage".
The letter also stipulates: "The fact of not calling and preventing a potential coverage laps could result in responsibility for all costs associated with any repair at home", instilling a false sense of urgency.

The revelation of personal information can have serious consequences.
Receiving something you think is the police can be annoying, and you might be tempted to act immediately. However, Dauzat reassured citizens that the authorities will never ask you to buy a form of coverage, including domestic protection or prolonged vehicle coverage. "We do not direct this type of business and citizens should be very careful not to provide them with personal or financial details," the press release said.
A sign revealing this fraudulent mailer is the listed telephone number, 1-855-277-3562. Rather than connecting to the Sheriff's Office of the Avoyelles parish (APSO), when you type the number in Google, you will see reports alert on the scam. According to the press release from the Sheriff Office, this is probably a usurped number or an association with a burner phone. To avoid getting caught, crooks generally change these figures often.
In fact, similar broadcasters have recently been sent to members of 3rivers Federal Credit Union, which listed adifferent number And cited a problem with a mortgage. When calling this issue, 3rivers warns that you could be connected with a real person or an automated recording. Anyway, make sure you don't provide information by phone.
If you get this by post, call your local police station.
The APSO requests anyone who receives this mayer to report it to your local law enforcement agency. You can also file a complaint with the USPI and the Office of the Attorney General of your condition.
Keep an eye on other warning panels, which understand you ask you to confirm your personal information. Or make a payment via something other than a credit card. Scammers also sometimes include suspicious appearance documents and government's false seals, the police warned. If you receive something you think of your mortgage business, always review the account numbers - a fraudulent mailer will not correspond to yours, said 3rivers.
"Mail crooks will try to have you cooperate with the program in various ways, ranging from fascinating offers to intimidating threats," the press release from the APSO said. "Whatever their message, the goal of the mail scam is to get you to send money or provide your personal information. Any fraud that uses the American mail - that it comes from the mail, by phone or online - is fraud by mail. "
