I am one of the victims, gave info on gift cars stolen by this postal employee, but no one from the USPC – Office of the Inspector General has gotten back to me on the status on this case, etc. I called 401-229-9250 a few times always goes into voice mail have left message, but then got a call back from a woman at this office that she can’t tell me anything go online and fill out the form. Well I have gone online and given my info about 3 times now. This just appears to be a run-around with no official giving me any info on this case, when it’s gone to court, nothing. So much for using the USPS to mail items.
