Security: It Comes With the Stamp®

Excessive postage and an unknown return address are signs of potentially suspicious mail.

High-pressure phrases like “This opportunity won’t last!” and “Contact us or face legal action.” are a hallmark of scammers.

Never leave mail in your mailbox overnight, especially if you’re expecting checks or credit cards.

It’s dangerous to carry your Social Security card. A lost wallet could mean a lost identity.

Unwanted emails—or emails from unknown senders—could be an attempt to “phish” for your private information and steal your identity.
