An email scam pretending to represent the U.S. Postal Service is circulating online. Reporter Joshua King has tips on how to identify and avoid this scam…
Be wary of any emails concerning package deliveries or unpaid online postage charges. Some postal customers are receiving bogus emails featuring the subject line, “Delivery Failure Notification.” These emails appear to be from the U.S. Postal Service and discuss an unsuccessful package delivery. The email will prompt you to confirm your personal delivery information by clicking a button or downloading an attachment, that, when opened, can activate a virus that steals information such as your usernames, passwords, and financial account information. The Postal Inspection Service is working hard to stop these emails and protect your information.
Forward all spam emails to [email protected], then delete the email.
