USP scam

[d/ur/t]

Just wondering if you guys have seen this scam.I don't know how the do it but the address doesn't even match mine.

Hello!

We failed to deliver the package sent on the 25th of December in time
because the recipient's address is inexact.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our department.There is an attachment but I'm too worried to open it.

United Parcel Service of America.

call the 1800 # for UPS and ask them about it, they should be able to look up a package based on your address

UPS always has a tracking number. They would've left their notice on your door

scam.  Saw something about it here, or maybe somewhere else.  Virus is in the attachement. Delete.

  What the hell is that ?  Far as I know it's just United Parcel Service, that's it.

send it back stating you have attached all the information and when they open it, WHAM, they get the virus

[d/ur/t]

Forgot to say it has an attachement .Send it back huh good plan.

Unless you want to receive additional email spam, do not send it back - as it tells the scammers that yours is an active email account.  Just hit the delete button & then celebrate with an adult beverage.

I got the same email tonight, saying my package could not be delivered that I sent on the 14th of December...

There was an attachment in the form of a ".zip" file...UPS & USPS do not sent "zip" file attachments...I checked

I deleted the entire email

I've gotten that message on 3 email addresses so far.  Deleting it is good advice.

Better yet I "marked it" as spam and now it gets trapped. I posted about this a month ago, my anti virus caught it and blocked it. I got another about a week later and that's when I spam labeled it. What ever you do don't click on the attachment unless you have a balls to the wall firewall cuz it's something crappy. (I got a buddy that "catches them and picks them apart")

I don't want to be picky here but could you correct the title of the post? Its just a little bit of a pet peeve, especially since I work for UPS.

Sorry to be a bother

For what it's worth my V.A. started today using UPS exclusively! (I work in shipping and receiving there) 

[Skinypete]

I appreciate the business! We've been pretty slow for the last 6 or so months...

I deleted the entire email, but from what I can remember, it was not from UPS....It was from USP

[Skinypete]

The original poster said it was from the "Unite Parcel Service of America" so I'm assuming he meant UPS not the USPS.
