Safety through the mail and over the phone
· Be careful of any solicitation that sounds too good to be true.
· Ask a lot of questions. If you don’t receive many answers, chances are it is not a legitimate business.
· Never give out your account number over the phone unless you have initiated the call.
· Notify the Post Office of any change in address.
· Check your mail daily. If you feel there is a decrease in mail delivery, contact the Post Office immediately.
· Consider mailing outgoing bill payments from a United States Post Office mailbox versus your own personal mailbox.
