     @paul Yeah, I have been seeing these as of late. Very annoying, although I mark them as spam & Apple & my carrier deal with it on the backend.

     @paul Oh, I signed up for that too! Very helpful! I like how USPS takes a picture of mail in envelopes, which is very useful.

     UPS & FedEx email me as well, they only reveal origin of the package/letter & maybe a company name (so I have to figure out who sent the package).

     @darnell I've gotten a few over the last couple of months. I get the Informed Delivery by USPS's daily digest, so I just ignored them. When in doubt, I look at my daily digest or log in to the USPS dashboard.

     Glad the scam is getting alerts, although, back a few weeks ago would have been better when people were sending and getting a lot of holiday packages.

     Informed Delivery is great. You get images of the mail you are going to receive in the mail that day and heads up on packages. They have an app, also.
