Do not open an email that says its from the US Parcel service.  It will say something along the lines of, we were unable to deliver a package to you.  Some of the emails will include attachments and others will have a web link or phone number for you to call.  All of these ofcorse point to Nigeria, where you will be asked to give out personal information.

The one I received had a .zip file attached.  I opened this (on a mac) You should not open this if you are using a PC.  Inside was a .exe file most likely containing a computer virus.

For most people it might seem common place now a days for the Postal service to email us, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t the case.  The way I see it, email is the Postal services natural enemy.  They would probably just send me a letter.
