National Consumer Protection Week 2025
Looking to protect yourself from fraud, identity theft, and scams? Wondering about the best way to improve your credit, shop for a used car, or keep your kids safe online?
We have information for you during National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) — March 2 - 8, 2025 — and any time of the year. NCPW is a time when government agencies, consumer protection groups, and organizations like ours work together to share information about consumer rights and help people learn to spot, report, and avoid scams.
Nashville Post Office Credit Union is dedicated to keeping our members informed of how to spot scams and protect yourself. During NCPW, we will have some brochures available about Identity Theft. You can also visit
www.ftc/ncpw to learn how to get other brochures and resources.
On Friday, March 7th, we will be having a drawing for a shredder and a safe to help keep your documents safe. You can find a drawing slip in our newsletter or at our branch.
