I got a message from someone phishing as UPS.<br>
The interesting thing was that I was expecting a package on the same
day from Amazon.<br>
I do not get a lot of UPS tagged spam and this one was written to
slide through as a plain text message with a word document attached.<br>
The closeness to an Amazon delivery makes me wonder if someone has
access to Amazon delivery information.<br>
