That's a good way to play things when you can, and I am the same way when it comes to not opening emails from someone I absolutely don't know. However with all of the new technology and everything going to computers being notified of something like a missed package, etc via email isn't unheard of nowdays. That's why scams like this work because most people wouldn't question the validity of it at all. I, on the other hand question pretty much everything so I'm a really hard sell for things like this. That said, yes, I opened the message because it looked valid on the surface. While I haven't ordered anything lately, often times catalogs, etc that I recieve come in the form of a package, so that always leaves a question of the validity regardless of wether I actually ordered anything or not.
As far as phones go, my wife and daughters phones both have unknown caller blocks on them. Thing is when you work for yourself you never know when a potential new customer is going to call, or when an existing customer might call on an unknown line. Either way if I blocked all unknown numbers or simply didn't answer them it would be disasterous for business. Then you run into situations like I've had recently where telemarketers are using a spoofing device to make it look like their calls are coming from your wireless service provider. I've had nearly a dozen calls in the last two weeks showing up as Verizon Wireless when they call. Since my phone is the one the account is tied to I tend to answer it when they call in case there has been a problem, etc, because, again, I need my phone for business. So, you answer the calls and get telemarketers. Really pi$$es me off but Verizon's tech line said there is really nothing they can do but advise you not to answer the calls, or to answer the call and then turn around and block it when you hang up. Problem there is when the calls all come from different numbers...and they all show up as being from Verizon, what do you do then?
