Scam of the Week



If you get an email from the U.S. Postal Service – proceed with caution...

There’s a new email scam out there, and it can really mess up your computer. It’s disguised as a message from the U.S. Postal Service and it contains a link or attachment that can install a virus or steal personal information. On its website, the USPS writes that "The Postal Inspection Service is working hard to resolve the issue and shut down the malicious program."

Aside from the link, the email may contain a message regarding an unclaimed package waiting for you or information about online postage charges. If you do receive the email, do NOT reply or click on any links or attachments, and delete the message.
