Special delivery. Ish

As I’ve reported before, I’ve received several phishing expeditions that use the USPS and FedEx as clickbait. So the other day when I found this in my queue I just thought, gee, another one:

It did occur to me that the spammers had improved their corporate plagiarism techniques, as well as their verisimilitude-oriented detail (like the tracking number). And then I realized that, hey—this actually was a general UPS email for a genuine UPS shipment.

(In fact, it was my new DVR box from Comcast.)

It is indeed a sad state of affairs, however, when your first response to getting pretty much any kind of “parcel-delivery” notification is to hit the delete button.
