I recently fell for this scam. What happens is if you use your smart phone and search for change of address, the scammers have a website that looks exactly like the official USPS site and it looks like you are being charged the customary $1.05. Then you see a charge for $59.95 on your credit card later on. The scammers also wait to process the charge so you don't see it for a while. I currently am arguing with my CC company about the charge. They claim since I authorized the charge it is not fraud. It is still being investigated. The tip off something is wrong is when you start getting all sorts of spam emails about moving services and you do not get the official confirmation email from USPS about your move.
