If you are going to do online forwarding for you mail, make sure you to to the official USPS site. Then to to Track & Manage to find the forwarding form.
Hope this helps someone else from getting scammed.
In this case, using my browser, the word 'Ad' appeared in the first four entries before the correct link was given.. An ad is usually put there by someone who wishes to take your money. I never follow links with 'Ad' ad the opener.
