Default warning!

I just got an email titled 'USPS notification'. It is a scam and has a virus in it. My software caught it! So don't open if you get one.

I haven't gotten one of those, but I did get one that "looked" like it was from the IRS. I've already deleted it, but it was telling me my fraudulent refund was not accepted. That's wonderful since I haven't filed anyway, nor do I get a refund either. It was also addressed to several others who all have the same internet provider that we use. It gave a link to click on for further info, which I most certainly did not do.

I used to get those all the time, plus ones supposedly from FedEx and UPS. I just delete them all.

yes I got one to, but since I hadn't ordered anything I didn't open it. I did a search for the name and found out it was from the Virgin Islands lottery.

The FedEx and Ups scam goes all the way to Australia - makes one FED-Up!
