π Scammers are playing tricks on folks trying to buy stamps quickly for their holiday cards! π
π Watch out for shady websites offering super-cheap stamps (like 50% off!) – they might look real, but they're not! Some even pretend to be the post office!
π€ Here's how they get you:
1. You're in a rush to get stamps, so you Google "buy stamps online."
2. You find a site with a great deal and enter your info for a steal of a discount.
3. Surprise! The site's fake, and scammers nab your payment details.
π³ Be careful! Someone's PayPal account might charge your credit card, not the post office.
π£ One person got scammed and said: "I called my bank, tried to cancel, and got an email from uspsfaststamps@hotmail.com – a total scam!"
π« Even if you get stamps, they might be fake! "I ordered online, and they're useless! They look weird – not like real stamps," warned another person.
π Stay safe: Stick to trusted places like the post office for stamps. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is! Share this to keep others in the know! π
