Therefore, United States Postal Service (USPS) customers should always go directly to www.usps.com and sign into their accounts from there, instead of clicking on a link in an email message that may take them to a fake website.

Received this and as I have no packages currently to be delivered by USPS nor do I expect one I suspect fraud. The sender appears not to be USPS but a private individual: dslsports-earthlink.net
I have not opened any links from this email.
