I keep a folder that holds all receipts of things that I've ordered. I couldn't think of anything that couldn't be left, so I ignored this. I got this notice another time. Then, Stephanie asked me if I had received my Mother's Day gift. That's when I figured this had to be it.
I received another notice. This time, I clicked on "Print Shipping Label." I got the message that it "wasn't found." I tried it again. No luck. I just printed this email.
Butch took it to the post office. They told him that it is a fraud. Apparently, when you click on print shipping label, it will ask you to send money. Of course, I would never fall for that. Still, I hope that by clicking on it, I haven't infected my computer with something. I'm a Mac user, so I think it's unlikely.
Just wanted to give you a "heads up." There are so darn many ways to trick us. I try hard not to fall for anything. I wouldn't have fallen for it this time if it hadn't been for Steph adding to the confusion.
Oh, and by the way---my Mother's Day present was great!!! Bath balls from Lush! I think I'll use one today. I'll definitely be smelling good! Sandy brought me a soap and lotion set with a cute metal holder---Limoncello---an Italian collection from Bath and Body Works. It smells so good!!
The Lapps' left this morning. I'm going to get a few things caught up around here and then spend the afternoon reading.

OH, I love those bath balls from Lush - what a great gift!
ReplyDeleteSo many fraudulent things these days - we have to always be aware!
Oh I get a lot of these lately but I never open them even though I use a Mac, they do drive me nuts though as someone in the house is always waiting on a delivery! Hope you're well.
ReplyDeleteWe love Lush - what a great gift!
ReplyDeleteI got one purporting to be from paypal recently. Nasty
I've gotten four "Notice to Appear and Testify" emails recently. Look very official. Needless to say, I never opened them. If someone wants me to appear they can have me personally served!
