EAST COCALICO TWP., LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — A woman in Lancaster County is warning other people after she says she fell victim to a mail scam.
She says someone changed her mailing address, sending her packages and letters nearly two thousand miles away to part of Montana.
Kathy Nolt calls it a nightmare – having her mail hijacked and sent to another part of the country.
“Don’t think it can’t happen to you, because it definitely can happen to anybody,” Nolt warned.
She says somebody forged her signature on a United States Postal Service change of address form without even providing identification
The Post Office requested she provide an ID when she tried to change it back. Nolt says the postal service needs to change their policy to better protect their customers.
And if she signed up for the new postal preview mail alert that was launched back in April 2018, she could at least know what was to have been delivered to her address.
