It was brought to our attention that there is currently an email virus circulating disguised as an email from USPS. Here is information about the scam taken from the scheme alert:
Some postal customers are receiving bogus e-mails about a package delivery or online postage charges. The e-mails contain a link or attachment that, when opened, installs a malicious virus that can steal personal information from your PC.
The e-mails claim to be from the U.S. Postal Service and contain fraudulent information about an attempted or intercepted package delivery or online postage charges. You are instructed to click on a link, open the attachment, or print the label.
But Postal Inspectors warn: Don’t do it!
Like most viruses sent by e-mail, clicking on the link or opening the attachment will activate a virus that can steal information—such as your user name, password, and financial account information.
What to do? Simply delete the message without taking any further action. The Postal Inspection Service is working hard to resolve the issue and shut down the malicious program.
Please note that all correspondences about an order placed through Blue Buddha will come from [email protected] or [email protected]. If you receive an email that appears to be about your order but is not from one of these email addresses, delete it. All links regarding your order that come from our email address are safe, however if you are feeling wary, you can always copy and paste your tracking number directly into the USPS website: https://www.usps.com/.
