Did USPS OIG Agents go too far by setting Up Sham Fishing Trip, posing as rehab specialist to catch letter carrier on OWCP for fraud? A federal judge in Portland, OR chided government agents Friday for running a series of elaborate ruses to catch a U.S. mail carrier they accuse of fraudulently obtaining workers compensation benefits.Agents went so far as to set up a phony business to lure their target into a 7 ½ -hour deep-sea fishing expedition. They also duped him into an interview with an undercover agent posing as a vocational rehabilitation specialist. The letter carriers lawyer said, This was not a valid undercover operation.This is the government lying about who they were. The Assistant U.S. Attorney described the methods, however sneaky, as legal and constitutional. #usps #owcp #uspsoig
