beware new USPS scam email with attached virus

[vaskidmark]

According to the Postal Inspector's Office this is starting to make the rounds.  It comes with a ZIPfile attachment that contains some sort of virus.

No, I did not open the attachment.

I do not expect any of you wonderfully brilliant. aware and alert APS members to fall for something as crude as this, but you might want to alert your less discerning aquaintances.

Seems (as if I had to ask) that unauthorized use of the USPS logo is some sort of federal crime.  Hope they send a swat team to deal with whoever cluttered up my inbox.

stay safe.

There's a similar one going around with FedEx.  My mother got it in her inbox a few months ago and, since she wasn't expecting anything from FedEx, deleted it without opening it.

Honestly, I'm to the point of letting the gullible fools I know just take the bait, because even trying to explain the concept of scams and such to them till I am blue in the face isn't getting across.

You're both a couple of losers.  I'll have you know I won the Scottish National Lottery.  And I've got the email to prove it.
