USPS Email Scam
The Military Post Service Agency received reports of scamemails being sent to customers under the guise of the United States PostalService (USPS).

The message states an issue with a package, awaitinginstructions from customer, and fees to pay a certain amount.

This is a scam and USPS will not send emails detailing anissue with a package. This information had been communicated to USPSand they have sent it to their Cyber Security division to investigate.
