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.

I did click show details and noticed marketing stuff trying to download so I stopped it and cleared history and blocked it. It was very authentic looking.

I received an email that says we have sent you a message:
"An email containing confidential personal information was sent to you"
Obviously, I have not opened where, it says see details, it is best to remove it.
