Default Gov't Warning re: purchase of UPS uniforms.....UPDATE: This was an E-MAIL HOAX!!

This was just sent to me by a friend.


Quote:
Government Warning regarding purchase of UPS uniforms:

Please pass this around.
There has been a huge purchase, $32,000 worth of United Parcel Service (UPS) uniforms on eBay over the last 30 days. This could represent a serious threat as bogus drivers (terrorists) can drop off anything to anyone with deadly consequences. If you have ANY questions when a UPS driver appears at you door, they should be able to furnish VALID ID.

Additionally, if someone in a UPS uniform comes to make a drop off or pick up, make absolutely sure they are driving a UPS truck. UPS doesn't make deliveries or pickups in anything, except a company vehicle. If you have a problem, IMMEDIATELY call your local law enforcement agency right away!

TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! Tell everyone in your office, your family, your friends, etc. Make people aware so that we can prepare and/or avoid terrorist attacks on our people! Thank you for your time in reviewing this and PLEASE send to EVERYONE on your list, even if they are friend or foe. We should all be aware!

I never do this, I swear, but for some reason this time I decided to paste this to all of the sites I frequent, without first checking scopes.com. Turns out this is listed there. Still, it's good to know who is delivering what to you, because the uniforms wouldn't be that hard to duplicate.

Hey folks, got some news for you!!

One of our fine, young warriors has just returned from a recon mission and found out some very interesting information. Apparently, this e-mail message was a HOAX ! I have to admit that the original e-mail message (that I posted above) was so carefully crafted that it looked absolutely genuine to me. Sorry for alarming anyone, unnecessarily.

For additional information, check the following link:

With consideration to the above, I'm going to close this thread.
