Identity thieves are out there, waiting to use your own computer to steal your identity from you. Fight back against cyber crime and don't let them take advantage of you. It's time to take your online security into your own hands. It is my hope that by sharing my own experiences with identity thieves and other online predators trying to get my information I will help someone else learn to spot such underhanded tactics before they are taken advantage of.

UPS Delivery Failure Scam

July 23rd, 2009 — CyberCat

I got an e-mail in my inbox a little while ago that just made me shake my head.  It went to an e-mail address that does not exist on one of my sites, so was defaulted to me, so I know for a fact it’s a scam even if the content had not red flagged it as such for me.

Hello!

Unfortunately we failed to deliver the postal package sent on the 23rd of May in time
because the addressee’s address is inexact.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our department.

There was an attachment that I’m not about to open, since the thing is all one big scam.  First off, I’m not expecting a package.  Second, the e-mail it went to is not mine.  Third, UPS would have called, not sent me a generic email, and they would have included more details and HELLO?!!??! if UPS had a package that has enough information to find my e-mail, then they could more easily find me to deliver it.

This is a scam fishing for your personal information, don’t fall for it people.
