There are so many of these stupid scams now... I've gotten e-mails from UPS, FedEx, the USPS... heck, even one from the FBI! Just delete them. They are SO annoying!

I've gotten several. i know they would not email me so i just delete. most come in my yahoo email and i've had it for well over 10 yrs. frustrating.

Yeppers its going around again .. All I gotta say is they have an awful lot of time on their hands to do this .. LOL

I get FED-EX - USPS - UPS and WesternUnion stuff all the time. I do not open them. I can not understand why these scammers think anyone gives out their e/mail address to any of these outfits. Althou WesternUnion is sort of funny. My long lost Uncle Bernard Jones of London has recently died -AGAIN- 2 heart attacks and 3 airplane crashes to date. But I'm his only living relative. Can't figure out how they can't find my Father-3 brothers and 1 sister and all of our kids.We are all within 20 minutes of each other. But with Uncle Bernie's resilient come backs it gives me hope of a very long life - lol

UPS and FEDEX have the same scam. DO NOT OPEN. I don't know about the rest of you but I am getting tired of all the scams aimed at hard working people. We all know about the bank scams and the Nigerian scams but these people are not trying to offer something for nothing-they are just trying to get info about us thru undermining of our home/computer security.

I also see them either in the Spam folder or sometimes they get through, but I always delete without opening.

Yep....and don't pay attention to the text messages that appear on your mobile (cell) phone. Apparently I won a million pounds on Saturday night and Sunday morning won another 750 thousand pounds.
