Canada Post reminds Canadians to not let spammers spoil their holidays
OTTAWA, Nov. 21, 2012, 2012 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
A new spam email bearing the brands of various shipping companies has
recently surfaced. The email highlights an unsuccessful delivery and
suggests clicking on a link for more information. As holiday shoppers
are expecting to receive more parcels, Canada Post would like to remind
everyone to be vigilant as these emails could contain viruses.
Canada Post does not email customers following an unsuccessful delivery
attempt. To ensure protection against spammers and malware, Canada Post
recommends the following steps:
-- If you are awaiting a parcel but did not specifically request a
delivery update by email, delete the email;
-- If you are not expecting a delivery, delete the email;
-- Do not click on any link;
-- Do not provide any personal information requested by these
emails;
-- Customers can follow the progress of their item by using the
package tracking number, either on
canadapost.ca or through the
Canada Post mobile app, which can be downloaded for free to all
key mobile devices
Canada Post wishes all our customers a happy - and Grinch Spam-free -
holiday season.
