New scam/virus to watch out for

Posted by NCWayne on August 26, 2013 at 07:33:40 from (98.21.228.82):

I got a message over the weekend supposidly from the US Post Office saying they had tried to deliever a package to me a day or so before, and since I wasn't home I needed to open the attached form, fill it out, and take it to the nearest post office. Everything about the message looks legit down to the Copyright USPS stuff, etc, and it all sounds logical enough until you think about it and really read what's said.

My problems with the whole deal were; One-logical or not how did the USPS get my email address since I've never given it to them...at least not that I recall??? Two- It says the attempted delivery was "at", not "on" such and such a date.

Those two things, along with the fact I haven't ordered anything lately, made me question the validity of the whole thing. So, I called the Post Office this morning and guess what...it's another scam, or attempt to insert a virus into your computer, or something. The guy at the PO said they have people all the time printing off the forms and bringing them in looking for a package that doesn't exist.

So, if you get something saying it's from the Post Office, regardless of how official it looks, it IS NOT from the PO. The guy I talked to said they have never sent out emails like that and as far as he knew had no plans to start. So, if you get one, DO NOT open the attachment as it will probably put something on your computer that you definately do not want on there because other than causing you to waste a trip to the PO them sending the message is worthless otherwise.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
