USPS asks for help in stopping stamp selling scheme

DENVER – U.S. Postal Inspectors hope you will recognize a man they say is using counterfeit credit cards to steal stamps out of automated postal centers at post offices in Denver and Boulder.

Postal inspectors say this man used numerous counterfeit credit cards to make transactions at the automated stamp machines. The robber visited a number of Denver and Boulder post offices between January and March 2007. Postal officials think he is part of a larger scheme to steal stamps and sell them on the street or on the Internet.

If you recognize the man or know about the scheme, you are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867). You may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward.
