RE: UPS Uniforms -- FALSE RUMOR!!!

["George J. Vargo" <vargo@physicist.net>]

Before forwarding the message below, I called the DHS Customs and Border

Protection (Office of Public Affairs, Christiana Halsey (Acting) (202)

927-1770) to confirm.  I was advised that the message below is a hoax and

NOT an official government warning.  Of course the parts about checking for

valid ID, etc. remain common sense.

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 ID



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, IMMEDIATELY call your 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

and PLEASE send to EVERYONE on your list, even if they are friend or foe.



We should all be aware!
