USPS Scam Letter

[krazzykats]

This came in my email today, 

I'm assuming its some kind of a key logger type email. The return email points towards a hotmail.it address. Italy?

At any given time in my spam box I can find the same type emails from Fedex, UPS, Amazon, etc. etc.   Some of them are pretty convincing, too. They're either going to steal your login credentials for whatever website, or they are going to insert malware of some sort into your computer.

Typical scam 

Only trust official websites like logging into usps website

I keep scam letter copies in a folder called scams. I have close to 50 different ones now.

This one was interesting as the logo came up as USPS, but I don't use that email with eBay, or to purchase anything.

And I wasn't sure how many newer users have actually seen a USPS one.

They are just trying to make you click...🐭

It looks more like just a routine phishing scam. A keylogger would require a download of nefarious code, and there does not appear to be any attachment to that email you received. I would imagine they're just hoping to get your eBay or PayPal login info. While the link points to an Italian page, the bad guy could be anywhere, just accessing a hacked account.

I hope you are reporting these messages.

Instructions for reporting to USPS here:

https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2016/pb22446/html/info_004.htm

You can also report to eBay (especially for any messages which are specific to eBay) forward messages to spoof@ebay.com

Sometimes, but not always.  Reporting only ends up generating more emails..

Thanks as this is a new one for me.  I get phishing emails regularly for PayPal, Amazon, and Apple.

I forgot about all those text messages I get asking me to provide my information for Fedex  or Amazon deliveries
