Possible Scam Alert
#25
If you have the original email it needs to be forwarded to the United States Postal Service Inspection Service. If the scamer is trying to use the mail system it is considered mail fraud and is a federal offence.

I received an email this morning from a sender called Expedited Shipping. Thinking it was about an item I ordered on eBay I opened it. Then it said the mail carrier couldn't deliver the item on April 30th and to click on the link to print the shipping label and take it to the PO to get the package. I didn't click on the link. At that point I began to get suspicious and checked the sender's address. It wasn't the one I ordered from and I only placed the order yesterday so they couldn't have tried to deliver it on April 30th. When you open the email the heading has USPS printed on it making it look like it's coming from the post office. If it came from the PO it would have usps.gov or something similar in the sender's address.
Just wanted to give you a heads up in case other's have gotten this too.

DO NOT OPEN THIS ATTACHMENT !!!!
Everyone knows whether they are envolved in a court case, but this type of email is meant to scare people into opening up the attachment. I have gotten at least a dozen of these in this last week.
