Alert Associate Helps Bust Fraud Attempt

Nashua, NH -- Retail Associate Nancy Carver called Loris, SC, Postmaster Bobbie Green about a customer who had mailed an Express Mail shipment containing $5,000 in postal money orders to Green's office. Nancy was suspicious of the transaction. She thought her customer might be the target of a mail fraud scam. 

Green contacted Postal Inspectors, who investigated the incident and confirmed the customer was indeed a potential scam victim. Inspectors successfully recovered the postal money orders and returned them to the customer.
