Don't be taken in by a fake email saying that they're UPS and will you verify your address so they can make deliveries.

 

I kind of believe that if UPS can't find you your pretty well under a rock some place.

 

I got this scam email today and deleted it. Lot of older people might believe this ruse and then you've just invited them to be porch pirates from here on in.

Yes.  That is an obvious scam.  UPS would never send an email like that.

Preying on people that are dying to get their packages

is what it is. They look authentic.  I'm constantly checking USPS, UPS and Fedex myself, so, I know what's where

 

If I don't get my QVC stuff today it will be Monday and it was all suppose to be here Wed-Friday and still waiting.  Sent a $$$$$$$$ certified bank check and FEDEX to sister up in Ind so she can get a Generac and a water heater. Suppose to been delivered Friday , now Monday.

@San Antonio Gal@SharkE  I get those UPS scam messages via text all the time and delete them. I started a post on the looters yesterday (scum bags) and the news had also reported they caught a guy trying to start a fire !

Re: A word to the wise .....

Hasn't the "unable to deliver" scam been circulating for over forty years...or however long the internets existed?
