Hi.
Just got an email (from the United States Postal Service) or so it indicates. It had their logo. The email was as follows: Hello: unfortunately we failed to deliver the postal package you have sent on the 19th of September in time because the recipient's address is erroneous. Please print out the shipment label attached (USPS Label.doc) and collect the package at our office. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. Now here is where it gets interesting. The Attachment (which I haven't opened yet), reads: xxs448.jpg.USPSLABEL.zip Now I have no idea what this is in reference to, but I did return a diabetic meter (using their pre-printed label) and I sent Alan to the post office with it but I have no idea when this was. Maybe it was early in September. I am afraid to open up this attachment. What are they attaching? When I mail anything out, my return address is on it. If the label was no good, wouldn't they have mailed it back to me saying "no such address" Thanks anyone who can help me decipher this. Melody

Yup Mel, I had a member of the forum that I moderate, get a very similar e-mail.
Unfortunately my uncle doesn't have quite the internet (or human) savvy to resist responding like yourself. Hence why his PC is turning into a full time job for me!
