Not a new one. I've received a couple of them in the past 2 years.

I too have seen it but good on you for posting. I don't know about others but I get a lot of stuff in the mail or via courier and if a guy wasn't paying attention it would be quite easy to get sucked in on this particular scam. Once they upload the Trojan or Malware they are a real SOB to get rid of. If you actually fill in any additional info you could be in for even bigger problems.

Thanks for posting.

I read some where on the innernet that if you need to get rid of crap from your place, fill up your used Amazon boxes and put them on your front steps
