866-747-7110

I found an add on craigslist saying "mail carriers needed", and it said to call 1-866-747-7110 to apply.  So I did this and they wanted $99.50 for the study guide and to take "the exam".  Then I went to the USPS actual website and noticed something saying, "Warning - Caution, Avoid scams". "Don't be enticed by Postal Exam scams. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYONE to schedule or take a federal Postal Exam."

I seriously wanna hunt these people down now.

I saw the same listing today and called and they wanted me also to pay before they would tell me the test dates and locations, they said that I would get the money back if I did not pass the test or did not get hired within a week of taking the test.  After I heard that I had to pay I hung up.  Why would I have to pay to take a test sounds a little fishy to me.

i fell for it yesterday. i was charged 99.50 today.
but i canceled my account and i feel like a dumbass.

what a bunch of jerks.
i really wanted that job.
haha.

Well yea I wanted it too $21 an hour in today's economy is great but once she told me I had to pay I just hung up, I hope you get your money back, I know the usps website has job listing on it that you don't have to pay for too view.  I did not know this until I called usps and asked about it.

I clicked a the link for a job on craigslist here in Austin TX and got redirected to this website

www.jobregistration.us

I spoke to a rude lady and found out they are selling a study guide which you can get for free from the post office. I really would like to work for the post office and scammers like this piss me off so I found out the following to hopefully save some people from being scammed.

I googled the phone number and found this forum so I am posting this here as well.

I did a lookup on http://centralops.net/co/ and found out who owns the site.

Registrant Name:                             bradley pretzer
Registrant Organization:                     bradley pretzer
Registrant Address1: [removed]

The only thing I don't have is this jerks apartment number. It is probably a husband and wife scam team since I spoke with a lady and it looks to be registered to a guy.

Good work.  I have been checking the USPS website and did again after reading the ad on Craig's List.  I knew something was wrong as there was a disclaimer on the 877 number AND NO OPENINGS on the real website when I opened it.  WHAT A SCAM!  Oh well, there's always Karma :]

You are not paying for the exam you are paying for the materials to study for the test that you cannot get from the post office I ordered it and passed my test and now I have a great job at the post office. The exam was FREE and I would not have been able to pass my test if I did not get that material..Good luck to all

Postalofficeworker you sound like a scammer everyone knows you can get the material for free at the library!

Postofficeworker is a scammer. My Dad worked for the post office for 25 years and did not have to pay for the material for the test.

I hope you can sleep at night scamming people of there gard earned money

Pissed in Austin you need to report him to your post office

I called these people up, and the lady I spoke to ("michelle") was very nice and informative. She only brought up at the end that I would be charged 99.00. I asked if there was any way I could confirm it and she said I could get a refund later. I should have known it sounded too good to be true, but I let myself get suckered. Does anybody know how I might be able to rescind the charge???

Yes you can do a chargeback on your credit card. Claim it was fraud. You will get a full refund.

My husband got scammed by this guy a week ago. I found this site and read about this scam so I contacted the Atlanta PD Fraud Dept. I called and made a report so if you have been scammed by this guy Bradley Pretzer listed above as owning the site contact the Atlanta Police Dept and make a report.
Here is the information that I used.
Atlanta Police Department
Fraud Unit
226 Peachtree St
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Office: 404-546-4240

Postofficeworker is obviously an "employee" of this scam operation. They actually told me there were openings for 4 different jobs in the city that I live in, while the official USPS website showed NONE! They lie and make you think that you are applying for employment with the USPS, but you are paying $100 for study guide materials that you can obtain for FREE.

I urge anyone who sees this phone number posted under Jobs on Craigslist to mark it as a scam immediately.

I also fell for this scam and paid the $99.50!!  After I paid it, I had a gut feeling something was wrong and found your posting on this site!!!  I immediately called my bank, cancelled the charge, cancelled my cards, and password protected all of my accounts.  I also double checked with the USPS and found a place on their website that clearly states THEY DO NOT CHARGE FOR PREPATORY MATERIAL AND DO NOT ENDORSE ANY COMPANY THAT DOES!!!
This guy is a freaking dirtbag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What goes around comes around!  He'll get his!

I saw the add on craigs list and I was just about to give them my card number, but it seemed wrong. I hung up and I could not find any info regarding that number on the USPS site. I asked the woman in the phone about the fact that I had just looked on the site and there were not any jobs listed as being available. She said that the jobs list was updated weekly and that it was a new batch of jobs. People are evil.

Hello!

I worked as an letter carrier and Postal supervisor for 20 years. You do not start a $20 per hour,more like 13 or 15 per hour. The only jobs the Postal service offer is part time non career. The Postal service is trying to down size, not hire.
