The Office of Inspector General Creates New Fraud Awareness Poster

Have you seen the new Poster 204, OIG Fraud Aware­ness Poster, (see page 40)? The new poster encourages employees to help the Office of Inspector General (OIG) “pick out the bad apples” by reporting postal crimes or misconduct. As part of its new look, the poster features a Quick Response Code (QR Code). This code provides another way for employees to report misconduct to the hotline. Anyone with a QR Code app on their smartphone can scan the code and be connected directly to the hotline.

New posters were distributed to all postal facilities and should be prominently displayed on workroom floor and employee bulletin boards. The OIG hotline provides a vital communications link between the OIG and U.S. Postal Ser­vice® stakeholders to receive complaints from employees, customers, and the general public. In fiscal year 2011, the hotline received more than 101,000 contacts.
