Now..I'm assuming this is spam as I've gotten several of these over the months.Says address error prevented delivery..open attached and take to local office.Attachment comes as a download and it asks me to do something with all my files before it can be read.That's when I stop and exit.The message was sent from customerservice@fedex.com,but said the package was a USPS notification.Like..really??? I replied to the email how this was possible..FedEx and USPS are 2 seperate entities..got same email as response..delivery failure notice,but underneath was a warning of possible spam. I am expecting a UPS ground delivery,but that's all tracked and accounted for.Would appreciate some insight from you guys..thanks!

Does sound very suspicious. I received a tracking link from the company that sent my items the other day for USPS. I am tracking my package. I can't see why any contest that has your address would send that email.  If they didn't have your address, they'd simply email asking for it. Plain and simple. Sounds like spam to me. Just my opinion.

Doesn't sound right to me. My wife works for the USPS, and both FedEx and UPS have the post office deliver some of their packages. But the mailman would leave a notice for you if there's a problem delivering something. Haven't heard about any of them using email notices, they generally don't ask for email addy when you ship or mail.

Phishing scam. I get several of these a week. I distrust any message with an attachment.
