Emails purporting to be from the delivery company UPS or the U.S. Postal Service<\/a>, claim that a package sent by you as the recipient could not be delivered. The messages instruct you to open an attachment to print out a label or an invoice.\u00a0 I just received two emails purporting to be from the U.S. Postal Service, saying “Unfortunately we failed to deliver your postal package you have sent on (date)\u00a0 because the addressee’s address is wrong.\u00a0 Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.\u00a0 Signed the united States Postal Service.”<\/p>\n

WARNING: Opening the attachment will install malware on your computer.\u00a0 NEVER OPEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. <\/span><\/em>when in doubt, go to www.google.com and (in quotes) “type in a line of the text they sent you” so you can see who else has gotten the mail from them and what their outcome was.<\/p>\n
