Scammers are just in the corner wherever you for living.
Technology makes us easy to apply Job that you don’t have to go the exact locations but we have to be careful not to go in the wrong people.

Site postalserviceplacement.com is a SCAM operating from Burberry Way, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129. Look exactly like the USPS site. BUT they ask for a Registration Fee of $39.

The website postalserviceplacement.com falsely advertised that they are USPS online and stupid me, i paid thinking I would see the actual application. Firstly, there was no opening in my city like they had advertised online, secondly, I realized they were a scam and asked for a refund and they said that I needed to wait 30 for money back guaranteed, should I not be chosen. How am I supposed to be chosen if there is no opening in my area. I did as they suggested to apply in a different city and I did and ended up not being selected. Then they said take an assessment. How in the world do I force take an assessment I was never given or considered for. Basically, this company is a big joke and runs you in circles.

Beware: Scammed by usjobsplacement.com!
I recently fell victim to the deceitful tactics of Usjobsplacement.com, and I must say it was a complete nightmare. Initially, I was thrilled at the prospect of applying for a job with the United States Postal Service through their platform. Little did I know that I was about to be taken for a ride.
First off, they charged me an outrageous $89 application fee, claiming it was a standard part of the process. Foolishly, I went along with it, thinking it was legitimate. However, as I delved deeper, I realized I had been duped. The United States Postal Service does NOT charge any fees for employment or taking postal exams. I felt like a fool for falling for their scam.
To make matters worse, when I tried to reach out to their customer support for a refund or clarification, I was met with silence. No response whatsoever. It's clear they have no intention of providing any sort of legitimate service or support to their customers. They're just out to make a quick buck at the expense of unsuspecting job seekers.
It's appalling to think that there are companies out there preying on people's dreams of finding employment. Usjobsplacement.com is a prime example of such despicable behavior. They not only stole my hard-earned money but also shattered my trust in online job platforms.
I urge anyone considering using Usjobsplacement.com to steer clear. Don't make the same mistake I did. Save yourself the headache and financial loss by avoiding this scam at all costs. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.
In summary, Usjobsplacement.com is nothing but a scam operation, and they deserve to be shut down for good. Shame on them for taking advantage of innocent job seekers like myself.
1 star out of 5. Avoid at all costs!
Sincerely,
A Disappointed Victim

Scam Alert: Fraudulent site postalservicesplacement.com
Fake postal job application website charged me upfront fee to apply for City Carrier position. I attempted to contact scammers on the number 800-305-1514 my calls were not answered and repeatedly disconnected. You end up paying them $39 through bank card.
The fraudsters advertising fake postal service jobs on Google. It raises serious questions about the trust and safety of individuals who have fallen victim to this postal job scam. FTC and the postal inspection service must take immediate action against postal job scammers.
