Scam Description
I saw an ad on Instagram for USPS Forever stamps being sold from uspsonlineshop.com for 1/2 off. I purchased 100 stamps for $33. The email that sent me a confirmation for the purchase said it was from the “USPS Official Online Store team” but the return email addresses were clearly not from USPS; instead they were from service@flystamps.com & service@bulkstore.com. When I received the stamps, 5 sheets of 20 floral forever stamps, the USPS logo printed on the back of them was not identical to an actual USPS logo. The package I received the stamps in was from Rengvo Corp Inc, 341 92nd St, Brooklyn, NY 11209. The purchase was made 12/16/23 & on my Chase debit card, the transaction is listed as “Pay Pal Shi Lei” on 12/19/23.
