FYI
Please take this seriously and exercise caution. Warning from U.S.
Government regarding purchase of UPS uniforms: BE ALERT!!!! 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 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, family, 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!
