A friend of ours got one of those and opened it. Messed it up big time.

The people who conjure up these scams must stay up all night dreaming about how they can cheat people. Sad. I received a phone call that made my blood boil. It stated, your 'prepaid' credit card is not protected. Enter its number now and you have full protection. This is a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT approved call. Yeah, right. And I don't even own a prepaid credit card. But it makes me sick that some poor old soul won't even hear that word, just 'credit card' and 'unprotected' and give these people their credit card information. By the way, the caller ID is 901. There is a lot of info online about the use of this number to scam people. And to use the phrase federal government approved is just the cruelest.

You might want to forward this email to the PO so they are aware of what is happening.

Good idea, jshep.

Yes, it is more than a scam. It is a VIRUS that will crash your computer. I received the same email and did not click on the link but my daughter did click on the link. She owns a business that uses the post office all the time so she thought it was legitimate. The virus crashed her computer. She had to pay for a day's worth of labor for her computer guy to come 100 miles to fix it and had to buy a new hard drive.

T HESE E-MAILS ARE SCAM. You will get them within a day or two of on-line orders. Some one is wanting to confirm your credit info to do some shopping at your expense. I have gotten these 'e-mails from USPS UPS FedEx etc.. I call them and they all say THEY NEVER e-mail senders or recipient's --They will leave a notice on your door of "Failed Attempt to Deliver'' with instructions for them to make delivery. And when ordering on-line the company may send you an E-mail saying your order has been shipped or processed.This gives you a heads up to watch for delivery. Keep an eye on your purse whether you shop in a store or on-line.
