Not only the USPS, but UPS, FEDEX, the phone, cable, wireless company (Xfinity, AT&T, Verizon) but department stores as well. I just deleted out of my junk folder notices that my iCloud storage was gonng to be terminated, that my subscription to a anti-virus was being terminated, my phone information and my bank information had to be updated, etc. etc. etc.
Just check the origin email address to double check where the message originated and then NEVER, NEVER call any phone number (see first message above) or click on any link to reply to ANY email. You bank has a phone number you can look up yourself (and you can pat yourself on the back for being so alert
)

Umm, Google, Internet? Amazing whet information is available. Why if I type Band of America I get all kinds of phone numbers and addresses and places I can go to find that bank. I haven't seen a phone book in about 4 years now. Someone was trying to send out a book of yellow pages but that no longer happens.

I know people fall for these things, but really.... Do they think that a real(ish) company like USPS is going to type addr instead of address or ur instead of your or pls instead of please.
Common sense would stop 95% of all scams.
