Original Message
In my mail today was a letter from the U.S.P.S. asking me to participate as a confidential reporter. I.B.M. is conducting the "mail measurement study" for them.
It talks about service performance with the goal to improve processing and mail delivery.
However.....if I agree to report for them I am supposed to "report the delivery of specific types of mail I receive".
I wonder if they are trying to improve service why they would want to know what type of mail I receive and when? Or, am I just being paranoid? LOL
As a thank you for participating I would have an opportunity to enroll in some sort of rewards program. There is a web address, Prospect I.D. and password for me to use if I decide to participate.
Also states that my participation will not be known by postal employees, only I.B.M. receives data from participants. So, are they trying to find the slacker mail carriers or what? And what does that have to with my magazine subscriptions and whatever else I may receive?
On the bottom:
"confidential material, nor for reproduction or general disclosure".
Wanted to add..it looks pretty legit. Website and phone numbers to call with any questions.
