11. I received one, and they send them sporadically. It was when I was ordering stuff from Amazon.
I opened it and it was code, didn't go anywhere but I'd sure as hell like to know how they knew I was online tracking my shipments. I set my filter to send all of them to spam and don't open them now.

Although the problem actually began earlier, when I got scammed by what I thought was a good site, advertising on a site I usually ordered things from. It turned out the site was in English and selling American products but when it came it was from China and they insisted on a signatures at the post office.

I still gave it a try and it was essentially a blank box with nothing useful. Their return policy was to pay to ship it back to get a refund which was more than the item cost. And it wasn't that cheap.

They had an gmail account which when I looked it up was the source of many scams, and found out there are a lot of these. They are still online and scamming Americans. No way to stop these.

Watch for this, they do a good job of making the email fit what you are currently doing.Last one I looked at the title of, was the same scam, trying to make it look like they were FedEx, USPS and UPS. But I hadn't ordered anything for a long time..
