It links to this pdf with a warning https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/radDocs/consumer/SpamAlert.pdfALERT: Customers be aware of fraudulent package delivery messages sent by email or phone.
Just a heads upBEWARE OF SPAM!Some postal customers are receiving bogus e-mails about a package delivery. The e-mails
BOGUS DELIVERY MESSAGES E-MAILED TO
POSTAL CUSTOMERS
contain a link that, when opened, installs a malicious virus that can steal personal information
from your PC.
The e-mails claim to be from the U.S. Postal Service and contain fraudulent information about an
attempted or intercepted package delivery. You are instructed to click on a link to find out when
you can expect your delivery. But Postal Inspectors warn: Do not click on the link!
Like most viruses sent by e-mail, clicking on the link will activate a virus that can steal
informationβsuch as your user name, password, and financial account information.
What to do? Simply delete the message without taking any further action. The Postal Inspection
Service is working hard to resolve the issue and shut down the malicious program.
If you have questions about a delivery or wish to report spam, please call 1-800-ASK-USPS.
I know not many of our members would fall for this, but we should warn our grannys and the like.
Peace,
Cy
Hello!
Unfortunately we failed to deliver the postal package you have sent on the
12th of November in time because the recipient's address is erroneous.
Please print out the shipment label attached and collect the package at our
