POST OFFICE PHISHING SCAM

Well, Just so ya don't feel all alone, even Sheriff's Offices get scam stuff in their e-mail !!!  I got one today saying that an item I posted on July 1st had been returned as undeliverable and if I wanted to check on it through the Post Office Tracking System, I just needed to "click on the link" --- Well, it seemed a bit odd to me so I went to the Post Office in person and guess what ???  There was nothing there !!!  Surprise, surprise !! When I checked the "header" of the incoming e-mail, the "return path" had nothing to do with the Post Office... I'm 99% sure it was a phishing e-mail and 100% sure it was a scam........So, if you get one of these or something similar, check it out before you "click on the link" !!!   BE CAREFUL - BE SAFE- BE SMART !!      Sheriff Karl Dailey
