Payment Card Industry Compliance III

• Beware of criminals posing as repair personnel who might install a skimmer device over an existing payment terminal – or replace an entire card reader unit – to capture magnetic stripe information.
• Prevention is key.
• Skimming devices can be difficult to detect and neither retail staff nor cardholders may know when it’s happening.

Customers trust us to protect their credit and debit card information.

Preventing the use of skimming devices is smart business.

Expert Testimony

You’ve spent a lifetime developing the skills, knowledge, and abilities that help support our postal mission. It’s no wonder that others may want to tap into that expertise. Be careful!

• As a current USPS employee, you are bound by the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch, which prohibit serving as an expert witness for a third party in any proceedings in which the United States is a party or in which the United States has an interest in the matter.

Refusing to leverage your expertise in a manner contrary to the interests of the Postal Service or the United States will keep you out of legal trouble and protect your hard-earned reputation.

And that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office — ethics.help@usps.gov — with any and all questions.
