Subject: UPS UNIFORMS Uniforms Government Warning regarding purchase of UPS uniforms: 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 (terrorists) can drop off anything to anyone with deadly consequences! If you have ANY questions when a UPS driver appears at your door, they should be able to furnish VALID I.D. Additionally, if someone in a UPS uniform comes to make a drop off or pick up, make absolutely sure they are driving a UPS truck. UPS doesn't make deliveries or pickups in anything, except a company vehicle If you have a problem,IMMEDIATELYcallyour local law enforcement agency right away! TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! Tell everyone in your office, your family, your 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 andPLEASE send to EVERYONEon your list, even if they are friend or foe. We should all be aware!

I dunno if this is factual. I was under the impression that UPS had stopped all auctions of their uniforms quite some time ago....many, many months if not years since 9-ll.
I thought so too Brenda -- in fact I am sure of it. Because there was a big todo about it when they cracked down on it, and that was before 9-11. They also got tough on outdated uniforms and police uniforms at the same time. That was at least back in 2000 I think. I doubt there would be 32,000 worth of UPS uniforms even up on eBay in a year, let alone a month. This smacks of a spoof.
This is a bogus e-mail. I received it as well a few weeks ago. Here is an article about it from Trend Micro: www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/hoaxes/hoax5.asp?HName=UPS+uniforms+hoax Don't worry. All is safe. Cheers~ Maureen
