I am getting more frequent info on world wide mail,postal services etc with tracking numbers to follow.

I have had several claiming to be from the US postal service. I too have deleted them.

I suppose if the tablets or creams that you have paid for have yet to arrive you could be tempted to enquire whether this was about that?
Otherwise simply delete without opening.

I received a few before Christmas, I do have a fair amount of parcels being delivered, but I always go on the respective website to track them myself if needs be. I thought the e mails looked suspicious so deleted them without opening any attachments.

I have heard it said that the hoax was started by staff at moonpig.com.

I've received dozens of these emails allegedly from FedEx but I do the same as Jeane. Ironic that days before I started receiving them I had used FedEx to send a parcel to the USA and I knew it had already reached its destination. Just who passes on our email addresses to third parties?
