I always tell people when I am sending them a package, the tracking number, and when they should expect it. Even family or friends sending you gifts, should have the tracking number and know who they used. Never click on a link from any email you don't expect. Many times stolen money or packages, even with video of the crooks, are rarely recovered or prosecuted. I often say that it is more accurate to say "Lost Reaction" than "Loss Prevention". This will cut down on thefts of actual legitimate deliveries. Even post a sign on your door for no packages to be left without a signature. If you don't have that in addition to the email (which would come after the driver's notice) IT IS A SCAM! Legitimate packages are often stolen from your door step, so ALWAYS require an adult signature for any package, no exception. The postman or delivery man ALWAYS leaves a written notice on your door or in your mailbox, and usually makes 3 attempts to deliver your package. If a missed delivery happens, unless you signed up for it online for a package you are expecting, you should not see an email notice. All carriers be it government USPS or private (UPS, FedEx, etc.) never ask for information via email. If asked for any personal or financial information by email, it's a scam.
