Under the guise of the US Postal Service, this company mails information to set up printing postage on your home computer/printer. They advertise a free cd to set it up as well as a postage scale (fee) and free postage for a trial period. Instead, you get signed up for a membership and monthly service fee of $15.99 which is not included anywhere on the mailed information. This company is fraudulent and unethical.

It would make your life so much easier and stress free.
Looks like you jumped into this blindly and are attempting to blame others, including the USPS...not cool.

Hi Laurel,
Stamps.com appreciates your feedback, and apologize for any misunderstanding. We offer a four week no-risk trial so that you may use our online postage service and determine if the service fits your mailing and shipping needs. Please note that we do not offer a "free trial" -- our trial is labeled as "no risk trial."
If you do not like the Stamps.com service, you may cancel at any time during the four week trial period and you will not be charged any subscription fee for using the service.
However if you do not cancel the Stamps.com service and go past your four week trial period, you will be charged $15.99 for using the service during that first "trial" month. After you pass the four week trial period and become a regular customer, you will be charged $15.99 each month moving forward. You may cancel at anytime -- there is no long term agreement.
During the registration process for Stamps.com and before a customer's account has been created, (on the page called Postage Account Credit Card Authentication) all prospective customers will see the following text:
Why do you need my credit card information?
Your credit card is required by the USPS to set up your USPS postage account. Your credit card will not be charged unless you buy additional postage or Stamps.com products, or if you continue past the NO-RISK 4-week trial period.
We provide and disclose terms that we do expect all potential customers to read, review, and agree to before they create their accounts. Accounts cannot be created without customers indicating that they have read the terms by clicking on the I Agree box.
We do apologize for any misunderstanding. We are a licensed vendor of the USPS, but we do not claim to be the USPS itself. We would be happy to further review your account. Could you e-mail us your full name and phone number to social@stamps.com?
Thanks!

Under the guise? What about that site looks even remotely like the USPS. They don't even display the USPS logo or try to mimic a USPS site. This and the fact that you listed your complaint under the USPS category, leads me to believe you are confused.
