any Post Office retiree should be aware

they sent me a letter, that their website with the important stuff, SS number and all personal information has been hacked. The PO has engaged Experian, for free, available for a year, to be able to watch for fraud associated with your name SS number and all that personal stuff.

I am also on several conversation boards with retired Postal people and no one has mentioned it. I noticed this says it is from "African American group". I assure everyone USPS does not separate out employee records by race.

Do not react to this by divulging personal info. I am afraid you are about to get had.

dated dec10,2014. On and in USPS stationary, letterhead and envelop. This site has created a real problem with people not believing anything. I put it on the GD board also, it, the warning has nothing to do with race. I was notified and well keep searching is all I can say. Jefferey C. Williamson, Human Resources Officer,and executive vice president...phone...good one that I've called...877-477-3273. Your fate is in your hands. I'm done with you.

I thought you might be a victim of "phishing" where they try to info from a victim. I did google it and there was a massive USPS data theft. The fact they have not contacted me may only mean I wasn't one of those they described as "affected".
