5. MAIL THEFT PREVENTION
The following information is courtesy of the Brentwood Community Council:
Many thanks to Postal Inspector Tosha Dennis for providing the following information at the BCC meeting on June 9.
Remember to report all actual mail theft! This can be done 3 ways:
- By Phone to the US Postal Inspector: 1-877-876-2455
- Online via the US Postal Inspector: Link Here
- Submit Congressmann Lieu’s privacy form – at this link – and his team will work with you to resolve the issue. This form does require a real ink signature, so you need to print it, sign it and email it back – see form for instructions.
Tips and How You Can Help
- Report all suspicious information regarding mail and package theft to this number: 877-876-2455
Please report specific details, such as exact locations, time of day, descriptions of individuals involved, license plate numbers of vehicles that may be involved, exact documents that may have been pilfered. Inform the Postal agents if you have any related photos or videos at the tie you make the complaint. - Install surveillance cameras near mailboxes.
- Have mail/packages held at the post office.
- Choose to receive only online account information and stop receiving paper financial statements. Mail theft is primarily targeting financial information to commit ID fraud, check “washing” and related financial crime.
- Use outgoing mail slot inside the Post Office for anything that contains financial information, or, at home, only place outgoing mail very close to pick up time and do not use the red flag on mailbox.
