For Canadians: There is a really good e-mail scam going on right now with Canada Post involving legit tracking numbers on international packages.....

Posted by Walt_Disney (aka Walt_Disney) Nov 25 '11, 12:24

It came in as an e-mail with my personal offical non-spam e-mail and was addressed directly to me. It mentioned that Canada Post tried to deliver a package to my home but it could be picked up at my local post office. The links to Canada Post on the e-mail were legit and so was the contact info so I assumed that it MIGHT be real. Went to my local post office last night who said the paracel was still waiting at customs but to call Canada Post directly. Called CP today and they said any tracking number that ends in HK is fake at the moment.

So beware of any e-mail you might get with this.

CP never sends email about these kind of things. -- nm - Reagen Nov 25, 12:26 3
- how would they even have your email address? -- nm - Andie Nov 25, 12:37
- Well I thought that too initally but everything else was legit so I at least investigated it. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 25, 12:28 1
  - to get that kind of actual info seems like the offical site was compromised -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 25, 12:37
