sounds fake to me.....i don't think any web site or email address associated with usps would end in .com. And I'm pretty sure they would never ask for your phone number.
Have you sent this out without getting any money???? Take this information to the Post Office and ask for the Postmaster and show it to him or her. Do it tomorrow..........
I would say never send any thing thru the Post Office...they don't know what they are doing..
Don't ship things on CL its just not set up for that sort of thing, there are no guarantees. I do everything local.
That's a trip. I would call em off of the web site, or print the thing off and take it to the post office and have one of their guys tell you if it's legit. I've not heard of that process before. Be afraid... be very afraid... LOL.
sounds fake, they wouldnt say it U.S._pOSTAL_SERVICE@USPS.com the united states postal service have their own email system, if in doubt, just take it to a local postoffice and ask someone there.
Dude it sounds like a fake to me. DO NOT send it till you can call the USPS to confirm the message. Anyone can fake an email with the use of a proxy server. You need to look at the header of the email to see where exactly it came from. I'll lay odds it wasn't the USPS.
I would send the buyer an email and tell her when you receive your payment you will email her the tracking number but you are not going to ship it until you receive the money. I would also contact your local postmaster general and show them a copy of the emails you are getting.
if you have further more questions or not believe them, go show this letter to the post office and ask them if the post office would ask for phone nrs over the net and if they have a .com address on the net so Far as i know the post office all ways has a . gov on the end of there e mails not a . com or .net go sake the post office what to do :if you mailed this ps2 to graigslist you must have a tracking number or receipt with that NR on it, take it with you to the post office and sake them what to do next, good luck
yes FAKE!!! If you sell stuff online.. Accept Cash or paypal only. (Don't ship item until money is in the paypal account - Log in to be sure) usps.com DOESN'T not send emails like this....
No way this came from usps - and actually, it doesn't even say that it did, just kind of implies it. But until you have the money in hand - and not just a check or money order that you think will clear - if you send your item you will just be scammed. This whole thing has a very bad smell about it. There are so many red flags in that email they're hard to count!
