Postal Inspector
Alexandra Papageorge (left) educated customers at the Sun City Post Office about
potential scams and fraud during National Consumer Protection Week. Various videos, pamphlets and brochures
concerning phone scams, false lottery winnings and sweepstakes fraud were available
for customers.
The majority
of residents in Sun City are senior citizens and Postmaster Tina Cochrane (right)
was thrilled that the valuable information was provided to the community. Cochrane stated she recently talked an
elderly man out of sending an $800 money order to collect alleged winnings of
$30,000, and assisted an elderly woman who was mailing a $4,000 iTunes card to
help a nephew who was supposedly in jail in Belize. The woman soon realized her nephew was not in
Belize and Cochrane helped her retrieve her mail.
