INSPECTORS WARN OF POSTAL MONEY ORDER SCAM.
The Inspection Service is continuing to warn the public about a fake postal money order scam. Victims are contacted by e-mail or through online sites by a person claiming to need help cashing a Postal Money Order. Victims are told they may keep some of the money as payment. When the fraudulent money order is cashed, the victim returns funds through a wire transfer, not realizing they have assisted in a federal crime. If fraud is suspected, call the Fraud Complaint Hotline at 1-800-372-8347 or visit the U.S. Postal Inspection Service website.
