It’s National Consumer Protection Week! In honor of this observance, we’re sitting down with Ashlea Bowens and Jessica Adams, two of our esteemed postal inspectors, to learn how the USPIS is preventing mail fraud – including taking listeners behind-the-scenes of some of our most notable cases.

We’ll talk about the significance of this week and learn about how USPIS is helping to educate consumers on mail fraud and how they can better protect themselves. We’ll also talk about the increase of “work-at-home” scams in the wake of the pandemic and share tips on how consumers can identify and report these schemes.
