Just a heads up - my wife just received an email advising her that “USPS parcel tracking # so-and-so is undeliverable”.
We caught on, as we’re not in the U.S. and she wasn’t expecting anything. Secondly, her ‘Avast’ virus scan alerted to the email.
So, heads up - I know we all get a lot of slowly delivered stuff, but be really careful about opening a message like this.
I’ve gotten those before. The funny thing is USPS doesn’t have my email address and I wasn’t expecting a package, so I knew it was a scam or a possible virus. BTW, I’m on a Mac. So I’m not that concerned about viruses, although Mac’s are still vulnerable to malware. I’m very careful anyway.
OK thanks for the heads-up!!
That kind of emails are redirected to spam automatically.

He must not be using gmail… probably a worse email provider.
