SIOUX CITY POLICE HAVE RECEIVED A REPORT OF COUNTERFEIT U.S. POSTAGE STAMPS DELIVERED TO A PERSON WHO DID NOT ORDER THEM.
THE STAMPS WERE MAILED FROM CHINA.
THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE REPORTS THEY HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN COUNTERFEIT STAMPS ESPECIALLY FOR SALE AT DISCOUNTED PRICES ONLINE.
U.S. POSTAGE STAMPS ARE NEVER DISCOUNTED, BUT ARE SOLD AT FACE VALUE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY 58 CENTS PER STAMP.
THE BEST WAY TO AVOID BEING SCAMMED IS TO PURCHASE STAMPS DIRECTLY FROM THE U.S.POSTAL SERVICE.
