Title: Be carefull USPS fake email
Post by: Sapphire-Light on January 20, 2012, 07:02:51 PM

This is to all member, I got an fake email from usps asking from an adress.

I know for sure it's fake since I don't have anything coming to me at the mail in the moment and I haven't sell or sent anything in this month, so watch out!!  :blink:

I tried to paste the email but the option is not working  :cry:

I've gotten a couple of those. Another good indication that it's a fake is that the messages are usually sent to more than one e-mail (why would USPS do a group mailing??) and the biggest kicker was one of them said they were trying to contact me regarding a package that should have been delivered on a Sunday. Yeah... don't think so lol. My PO actually has a few warning signs up about this in their lobby.

I get those types of spam emails often now - from all sorts of shipping services.  :(  Boy I *wish* I got that many parcels LOL!
