Nasty phishing email from "Postal Service"

USPS website warning

The one I received had "delivery notification" in the subject line. Glad I checked USPS website first. We all get complacent and need periodic reminders about opening emails.

    I've gotten 2 of them. I knew I wasn't expecting anything via USPS, so into the trash they went...

    Can the enforcement arm of the USPS do anything about this?

    Received two of these recently. They want you to click the "Tracking Info" button/link.

    I usually receive one from FEDEX claiming a non delivered item, similar to the USPS one. Also similar UPS phishing attempts.

    I used to get those all the time. I was sending them to "spam guard". I guess they are going to my spam
    folder, cause I have not seen one recently. I usually don't check what's in my spam folder.

    Same here but they usually land in my spam folder and I dump them right out.

    Got one the other day.

    Deleted without opening, esp since
    1) I wasn't expecting anything

    and

    2) How the heck could the USPS get my e-mail address?

    Knew it was bogus

    I've received three of them over the past couple weeks. Into the round file they went!

    Wonder if it's somehow connected to the eBay compromise. image

    I got it once; didn't open it and reported it as spam.
    When in doubt, don't.
