USPS

There's a new twist in the USPS text scam that continues to rob many in Missouri.

You would think receiving an unexpected package would be a pleasant surprise. The truth is it's the beginning of a dangerous scam that is already causing big problems for many in Illinois as the feds shared a warning about why this goes so very wrong.

Beware of any text you receive where a stranger appears polite and "nice". A new one is now making the rounds in Illinois where victims are receiving a link that includes many pleasantries, but it's sinister and will empty your bank account.

There is a very good reason why the United States Postal Service needs you to check your mailbox. It's not a life or death situation, but it's close. Seriously, if you live in Illinois, check your mailbox as soon as you can.

If you live in Wisconsin, your mailbox needs some attention right now. That's the word from the United States Postal Service that just shared a bulletin about the urgency of this matter.

My dad worked for the United States Postal Service in Missouri for more than 30 years. I mention this because I take instructions from the postal service seriously. Know that the USPS is insisting that Missouri residents check their mailboxes right now.

An Illinois United States postal worker recently found a heart-breaking letter from 1943 that was never delivered. What came next was heart-warming.

A dog that loves the mailman? What's this world coming to? It's true. An Illinois dog named Frannie really does have a love affair with an Illinois postman named Dan.

Mail never stops (except on major holidays), but with the bitter cold headed our way, it might be worth it to do your part to ease our letter carriers' burden just a bit. Hold your mail until the Polar Vortex temperatures are behind us.
