United States Postal Service postal job rip-off *Consumer Suggestion
BACK IN APRIL I CALLED A NUMBER OUT OF THE NEWSPAPER FOR A POSTAL JOB. WHEN I CALLED THE NUMBER I TALKED TO A MAN ,AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS AFFILIATED WITH THE POST OFFFICE. HE GAVE ME A LIST OF POSTAL JOBS THAT THEY WERE HIRING FOR.
THEN HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD SEND THE POSTAL EXAM BOOK OUT FOR $69.00, SO THAT I WOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE TEST.
WHEN I CALLED THE POST OFFICE TO FIND OUT WHEN THE TEST WAS GOING TO BE FOR THE JOB THAT I WANTED THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT HIRING AT THAT TIME, AND THE NUMBER THAT I CALLED WAS A SCAM.
NOW I AM OUT OF $69.00,AND STUCK WITH A BOOK THAT I CAN'T USE OR SEND BACK, AND I NEVER GOT THE JOB AT THE POST OFFICE
YOU WOULD THINK THE POST OFFICE WOULD BE CHECKING INTO THIS. NOT!
