USPS scam

[beckersjay]

I received an email today purporting to some from 'USPS' saying a parcel had arrived for me and needed collection as it had been impossible to deliver it to my home address. It wanted me to click on an attachment to download a collection form. Being suspicious of this sort of think I ran it through my virus checker which identified it as malicious. At this time of year, it's the sort of thing people could fall for so - be warned!

Thank you . I'll be on the lookout.

I have just received a text saying that 'Records have shown that I am due compensation for mis-selling of loan insurance.'

All I have to do is text them back, it says....as I rarely give out my mobile number, and have not taken out a loan for at least 40 years, never mind loan insurance, I can only assume that this is a scam of some sort too.

Over the holiday period many households were receiving these cards ,with a phone number to call ,it was a scam the phone call was charged at £25 and the kicker No Parcel. Trust Nothing, Check Everything.
