Identity Theft Concerns Rise as USPS Flags Suspicious Package Deliveries

Recently, the United States Postal Service (USPS) issued an advisory in which it advised citizens to be more vigilant in light of an increase in sophisticated mail fraud schemes. In addition to the deceptive activities that have notably increased across the country, particularly during the recent holiday season, consumers’ financial and personal security have been threatened significantly as a result of these deceptive activities. In addition to traditional phishing emails and fraudulent text messages, the USPS reports that these scams are now taking a more sophisticated form. 

As the number of unsolicited packages delivered is on the rise, criminals are using increasingly inventive methods to deceive the recipients of their mail to exploit them.
