Post Office Scam

Post by 308magtip »

Got an e-maill the other day supposed to be from the USPS claiming they had a package to deliver to me but needed more info.Looking over the e-mail the tracking number did not look legit. I printed it and took it to my local post office.Clerk said it is a scam and the letters/numbers used to make up the tracking number are never used bt the PO.Also they wanted $1.99 which they wanted a CC ## . Ordered .22LR ammo from Daves Prairer Wings and received it in 3 working days No shipping $$ since the order was enough. Just had to add the PA sales tax.

I get those blasted emails all the time.

I'm glad you found some ammo.
I last stocked up on rimfire back before it got scarce. I probably have about 20,000-ish.
I can't believe the prices I'm seeing :o :o

I don't understand how anyone thinks this has anything to do with the Post Office.

It's a criminal phishing scam, just like every other online phishing scam.

:roll:
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

I get those also, but never got a tracking number? If I did, I'd simply enter it at USPS site and see what happens. I do this all the time with legitimate tracking numbers, and a couple times had it come back as "invalid". Had to contact the seller, and they corrected the error, and I could track the number.

In addition to not answering our phone anymore I have also stopped opening up any e mails......have not logged in in months, maybe years......what for? It's always someone who "wants" or is forwarding mindless entertainment or fake news.

The only people I care about have my wife's cell # as I also refuse to have one of those too.
