USPS Scam Email Reporting - How to Do it

Report suspicious USPS emails by forwarding them to spam@uspis.gov. Do not click links, as official USPS tracking never requests personal information or payment via text/email. Delete the email, and report phishing to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

How to Report a Scam

  • Email: Send the scam message (or screenshot) to spam@uspis.gov.
  • Details to Include: Sender's address/phone number, date received, and screenshots of the email or text.
  • SMS/Smishing: Forward fake text messages to 7726.

Indicators of a Scam

  • Links: Emails or texts containing links to fix delivery issues (e.g., "reschedule," "update address").
  • Urgency: Demanding immediate action or payment within a short timeframe.
  • Unsolicited: Messages about packages you did not order or expect.
  • Generic Sender: Unfamiliar email addresses or phone numbers.

If you provided personal or financial information, report it at USPIS.gov or file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
