Background:

Any fraud that uses the U.S. Mail — whether it originates in the mail, by phone, or online — is mail fraud. Every year mail fraud schemes are directed at consumers of all ages. Anyone, under the right circumstances, can fall for a phone offer or promotion and unknowingly participate in a scam.

Each year, Americans trust the U.S. Postal Service with billions of letters and packages, and the vast majority of those arrive safely at their intended destinations. But there always are thieves who will target the mail. Postal Inspectors investigate these crimes and arrest thousands of mail and package thieves each year. Still, there are extra steps you can take to ensure your mail arrives safely at its destination.

A PCC is an organization that helps foster a close working relationship between USPS and commercial mailers and business partners with the goal of sharing information about postal products, programs, and services through an educational and collaborative environment. PCCs provide the opportunity for business mailers to network and collaborate with their colleagues in a casual setting.
