Former St. Pete postal clerk arrested for fraud, identity theft

TAMPA, Fla — A former St. Petersburg postal clerk used the perks of her position to commit fraud and steal personal information in order to gain access to victims’ bank accounts, according to court documents.

According to court documents, Wynne, a Postal Clerk with USPS at the St. Petersburg Retail Post Office location, conspired with others to defraud federally insured financial institutions.

Wynne used her status and the special access she had as a USPS employee to open First-Class mail and to photograph personal identifying information (“PII”) and bank account information. Wynne then forwarded the photographs to co-conspirators for use in a bank fraud scheme.
