Passing this along>>>

This came down from my coparate offices :

Government Warning regarding purchase of UPS uniforms:


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 your door, they should be able to furnish VALID I.D.

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!

Anyone else hear this?

Another bit of "Urban Legend"

I typically research claims like that before passing them on. Not a flame, but we don't want to get homeowners in a tizzy over something untrue.

This came down from my coparate email account so it could not hurt to pass it along IMHO

Better safe then sorry in this world today.

But that doesn't make it true.

Yes, it's a good rule of thumb to ask for ID from any delivery person, but getting these types of emails from your CEO or Sally Sue off the Internet doesn't make it true.

There's so many Internet email hoaxes out there, it's often hard to distinguish what is true and untrue.

It's just best to do your own detective work, before getting people all worked up. These email sent to the wrong people, could have a terrible effect on those more gullible.

It's a shame that your own corporate officers are forwarding on SPAM. They should have better sense to look into these things before just arbitrarily assuming its true.




Moral of the story is just to be safe out there. It's unfortunate that in todays soceity we even have to question our local law enforcement, and ask for ID from almost everyone
