Anyone else receive notification that their package has arrived and the (insert delivery company name here) courier failed/was unable to deliver it? Then you get instructions to follow the provided link to get the shipping label.
 
I heard about this scam a couple weeks ago and now I am getting these notifications. Feel sorry for those that fall for it.

    Never heard of that one before. My e-mail filters keep about 99.99% of this junk out of it. My yahoo account on the other hand gets loaded in comparison.

    Yeah, though I've been getting such spam about failed delivers for over a year now, it's not a new scam. There was one of two that even looked convincing. If you're ever in doubt just open a browser, manually go to the courier's website, and type the tracking number into it without clicking on the email. Most scam emails won't even list the tracking number up front which is a giveaway.

    Not email but I occasionally get the phone call from a supposed Microsoft employee saying my computer is reporting problems and wants remote access. Last time I led him on for several minutes by asking to speak to Bill (Gates). He actually put someone else on the line (also with a heavy Indian accent) who claimed to be Bill. I told him I've heard Bill Gates on TV and he didn't sound anything like him. He insisted he was Bill Gates at which point I told him I knew the call was a scam and hung up.

    Anyone receive phone calls and the callerID show your home number and name. I can't believe any legit business would spoof a person number like that and think people would trust them. The call ended up being some India person trying to offer card service. You tell them off and they keep calling.

    I got phone calls to... I always hope CIA call me to work against Russian imperialism but no...  
    But some private firms or agency call me and offer travels, CONGRATS you will travel, you win dinner, come to presentation,...
    I immediately say goodbye.

    I get phone calls from 000-000-0000 every now and then. I never answer and they never leave any message. I've been getting a ton of offers on a smoking hot deal for Rosetta Stone lately. I don't know what prompted this latest flood of SPAM but sooner or later they'll give up...   I hope!

    Always seems like the holidays result in increased spam.  My main email runs through my website email servers instead of gmail or comcast etc.  I've actually blacklisted entire country codes and the .mobi domain because I will never get anything legitimate from them.  I usually set them to fail the message delivery and leave a nasty comment for why the mail delivery failed.  I'll commonly use "congrats, you managed to get your entire country blacklisted from emailing this domain" as an example.  People that call on the phone are great to mess with.  If it's actually a sales call I congratulate them for violating the do not call list and hang up.
