Beware of certain emails

All of us including me and this blog of mine gets tons of SPAM. But ID thieves and just plain crooks are hiding SPAM deep withing what looks like regular email. They are doing this by spoofing or in simple terms changing the senders email address to look as if it is from (and these are examples of what I received) IRS, FBI, USPS, my ISP, and even my own bank. All them asking for the same thing for your personal info. The ones from the IRS and FBI are so common place these days that both agencies have spam warnings on their sites. I actually find the ones from the USPS the most interesting because they say they need more info to deliver a package. My question is if this is real how did the USPS get your email address in the 1st place.

Do not respond to any of these emails. In fact you should not even open any of them. Honestly if you have any concerns that these email are for real, they as I suggest you call them.

I do not recommend you give any one your personal info. Especially someone you don’t know is real.
