Fake USPS Email Containing Confidential Personal Information Messages

United States Postal Service (USPS) customers are asked to be on the lookout for fake "Email Containing Confidential Personal Information" messages like the one below, which claim there is some delivery problem or an email containing confidential personal information was sent to you. Some of the fake emails contain links to spam and phishing websites.

Therefore, United States Postal Service (USPS) customers should always go directly to www.usps.com and sign into their accounts from there, instead of clicking on a link in an email message that may take them to a fake website.

I got one this morning. I knew enough to click on the "from" email name and the email address is not of the usps.com extension. I knew right away it was a scam.

Uspostalservice goes to Diana.wirth-oppacher.de, this is www.oppacher.de, its a municipality in Germany that is 02736 Oppach in Gorlitz Germany. Their ph: 49 35936 3990? So it's some employee that works in this city and their account is a worm tunnel to some other server.
