Harvey, Irma, and Maria Disaster Scams - Fraud Alert
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and HUD Office of Inspector General (OIG) warns everyone affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria to be alert for fraud schemes that commonly occur following a disaster. You need to protect yourself from fraudsters who will take advantage of the confusing nature of information after a major disaster.
The OIG performed data analytics to identify offices with lost or stolen stamp stock shipments. We identified expenses regarding stamp stock shipments for the William Penn Annex between May 1, 2016, and April 30, 2017. The objective of this audit was to determine whether internal controls over stamp stock shipments were in place and effective at the William Penn Annex.
