Nothing very new, but a different "source".  I wouldn't have seen this
had I not logged onto usps.com.

Customers be aware of fraudulent package delivery messages sent by
email or phone.

Customers may be receiving email messages or phone calls that allege
to be from the U.S. Postal Service that contain fraudulent information
about attempted or intercepted package delivery.

For emails: If opened, the messages instruct customers to click on a
link to find out more about when they can expect delivery of their
"package." Simply delete the message without taking any further
action.

For phone calls: Please do not provide any personal information and
let the caller know you're not interested and hang-up the phone.

The Postal Inspection Service is aware of the problems and are working
hard to resolve the issues and shut down the malicious programs.

We regret any inconvenience this may have caused our customers.
