Title: Hoax or real?
Post by: Twist on October 14, 2003, 10:13:16 PM
Just received this in my mail, anyone see this before?

 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, he should be able to show a VALID ID. Additionally, if someone in a UPS uniform comes to make a drop off or pickup, make absolutely sure he is 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.
 
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!

I sincerely hope it is a hoax.

gotta be fake. For one, how difficult would it be to make your own UPS uniform? I mean, get some brown shirts/pants/shorts and make the yellow UPS logo....no big deal.

It sure is good to know that random Internet e-mailings have evolved to where they even trump the major news outlets on a story of such obvious importance.

I thought it might be but wanted to share just the same. Some people just have far too much time on their hands, and access to the internet makes them dangerous. :rolleyes:
