Old Game, New Tricks
When you're online, be on guard, say U.S. Postal Inspectors:
Be suspicious of emails that appear to be from banks, online auction sites or other retailers.
Never use a link in an email to visit any website.
Only purchase goods and services from sites you trust.
Examine all offers before purchasing.
Whether it's auction fraud or identity theft; reshipping scams or foreign lotteries, be cautious and be smart.
