So tired of phishers, spammers, and internet idiots in general...

So I received a little bit of junk mail, that goes like this:

Subject: UPS: Your Tracking # 614473356324

Sorry, we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on November the 25th in time
because the recipient’s address is not correct.

Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.
If you do not receive package in ten days you will have to pay 36$ per day.

Oh, they went wrong on so many levels...

  1. From: "United Postal Service" [root@ups.com]

    Sorry, it is either the United Parcel Service, which would be from a ups.com domain or the U.S. Postal Service, which would be from a usps.com domain. Opppss...

  2. we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on November the 25th in time

    25th of which year? In time for what? Nevermind that I didn't send anything

  3. Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.

    Why would there be an invoice for this? Oh, and which office do I go to?

  4. If you do not receive package in ten days

    If you are telling me to print and invoice and go and get the package, why would I magically receive the package?

  5. you will have to pay 36$ per day

    In the US, we put the currency symbol before the amount. And $36 - eh? Odd amount...

  6. Do you really think that the USPS or UPS would send out an email without a disclaimer or some form of advertising in it?

Who falls for this crap!?
