I got this e-mail today.
Does anyone know if there is any substance to it?
I thought that as much as CPF'rs use shipping companies it might be of some importants. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
Just a thought.

I think I would first verify the data through the contacts they provided. and then I would verify those contacts.

To me it does not read like the work of an adult, and definitely not one that has risen to a managerial role.

It is probably the work of some 12 or 13 year old with a grievance against UPS.

You can bet that if this was genuine it would be very highly publicised.

Just a thought agree that should stay alert.
I didn't know if it's second hand info or what.
