USPS is marking National Consumer Protection Week by supplying customers with tools for surviving today’s economy by providing tips to prevent identity theft and by increasing awareness of fraudulent schemes.

National Consumer Protection Week, which runs 1-7 March, is a week of activities sponsored primarily by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to draw attention to fraud and other threats to consumers.

USPS and the US Postal Inspection Service play leading roles in increasing public awareness of identity theft and fraudulent mailing schemes. The organisations state that, according to the FTC, as little as 2% of all victims reported that the identity crimes they experienced were through the US Mail. The Postal Service’s commitment to protecting customers’ private information was recognised for the fifth consecutive year when it was named Most Trusted Government Agency in the independent Ponemon Institute Privacy Study in February.

Delores Killette, vice president and consumer advocate for USPS, and William Gilligan, acting chief postal inspector of the US Postal Inspection Service, are leading the postal service effort to provide consumers with valuable information about protecting their assets from fraudulent schemes and tips on keeping their personal information safe.

“Today’s challenging economy deems it critical that we give consumers tools to guard against losing their hard-earned money to fraud,” Killette said.
