Text USPS to 50409 is not a scam. It is a petition to save the United States Postal Service(USPS) because President Trump has blocked potential emergency funding for the agency. It tells your reps to support the United States postal service with the message in the image below. The Postal Service’s decades-long financial troubles have worsened dramatically, as the volume of the kind of mail that pays the agency’s bills (first-class and marketing mail) has withered during the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Due to this, the USPS needs an infusion of money to stay afloat.

      50409 is the number that you send the text with “USPS” to. Then it will walk you through the steps

      No. You create a text and where you would put the phone number or contact is where you type 50409 the in your message you can type anything like USPS and hit send. The reply will be an automatic response. Follow the instructions from there.

      The number is the number you're texting (like a phone number) and "USPS" is the message

      The numbers are where you text. The USPS is the message you text to that number
