Im Sending You the Tracking Number Again Just to
Expecting packages shipped to your home this holiday season? You're not the but one… scammers are, too.

We've learned of a phony "delivery failure notification" email making the rounds. It looks like it's from the U.S. Mail service — but it's not. The email says you missed a delivery. But, it says, if you print the attached form and have it to your local post part, you lot can choice upwards your package and avoid penalties. The message might also include a link for more than details.
Hither's the truth: the e-mail is bogus and there is no package. And if yous download the attachment or click on a link, yous're likely to finish upward with a virus or malware on your device.
Con artists oftentimes apply the names and logos of familiar organizations to go under your guard. So how practice you tell what'due south legit and what's a scam? Here are some ways to spot a artificial email:
- It tells you to click on a link or download an attachment
- It urges you to take immediate action
- It asks you to "re-confirm" personal or financial information
Some other sure sign an email is a scam? If you lot hover over the link in the electronic mail, information technology won't bear witness the official website of the supposed sender — in this case, the U.S. Postal Service website.

It could be a scam. You could telephone call the company that delivers packages. Ask the visitor if at that place really is an airport tax.
You lot can ask someone who knows about revenue enhancement rules in the Philipines. Maybe there is a fee to become your packet, but perhaps he is trying to accept your coin. If you think this is a scam, y'all can stop talking to him.

This could be a scam. If a stranger says he will send you a valuable bundle, and you must pay fees to get the package, it usually is a scam.
A criminal will make promises similar this because he wants your money. Really, there is no valuable packet. Often, he will ask for more and more fees.
