BEWARE OF SPAM!
BOGUS DELIVERY MESSAGES E-MAILED TO POSTAL CUSTOMERS
Some postal customers are receiving bogus e-mails about a package delivery. The e-mails contain a link that, when opened, installs a malicious virus that can steal personal information from your PC.
The e-mails claim to be from the U.S. Postal Service and contain fraudulent information about an attempted or intercepted package delivery. You are instructed to click on a link to find out when
you can expect your delivery. But Postal Inspectors warn: Do not click on the link!
What to do? Simply delete the message without taking any further action. The Postal Inspection Service is working hard to resolve the issue and shut down the malicious program.
If you have questions about a delivery or wish to report spam, please call 1-800-ASK-USPS.

Thank you ICOT.
ICOT – I have gotten plenty of these, luckily they went straight to my spam folder.
It’s times like these I’m glad I have a Mac.
ICOT – Its set to do it automaticly. Thanks.
I got a similar warning from the Nigerian Postal Inspection Service.
“It’s times like these I’m glad I have a Mac.”
you do realize that people dont write viruses for mac because its not worth it…if the majority of computer users are running windows why bother writing a virus for an OS that only controls 1/10th of the market…
if apple ever passed microsoft in popularity then yes…mac would have viruses and windows wouldnt. sheesh.
soliek- I like your comment!
soliek- I don’t mean to start a whole fanboy war but I used to be a PC user but got “converted” to mac. With Mac I don’t need to wait 15 minutes for the CPU to start, no soft/spyware, almost no crashes etc, basically it’s awesome and I don’t intend to switch back anytime soon. The only thing I don’t like with Mac is you can’t play many top PC games on it or use Microsoft office out of the box but you could always get parallels.
