- The United States Postal Service (USPS) WILL NEVER send you a text message unless you have signed up for text alerts with your local postal service.
- The USPS WILL NOT call you about an unclaimed package.
- If you receive a piece of mail claiming to be from the U.S. Postal Service, check the return address to confirm that it is legitimate.
- Pay attention to the language used in emails, text messages, and mail. Something casually written is likely NOT from the U.S. Postal Service.
