00:00 An email from the Post Office? How do they even know my email address? 00:05 They don't. This is a bogus email sent by scammers that looks like it is coming from the Postal Service or even the Postmaster General himself! 00:13 The email contains fraudulent information about an attempted or intercepted package delivery - 00:18 - and provides a link to click on to find out when delivery is expected. 00:22 But, that click can activate a virus, which can steal personal information - such as user names, passwords or financial account numbers 00:29 stored on the computer or mobile device. Here are some tell-tale signs that an email is bogus: 00:35 It contains poor grammar or spelling errors. 00:38 It states that immediate action must be taken, or there'll be dire consequences. 00:42 It requests personal information under the guise of reconfirming information. 00:46 The Postal Service does not notify customers about package delivery attempts by email. 00:50 If you receive such a message, don't open it. Instead, forward it to SPAM@USPIS.gov, and then delete the email.
