I don't usually pass this type of crap on but I went to snopes and checked it myself, it's for real. With the holidays coming up and plenty of online shopping happening make sure you know what the message is before messing with it.

good thing i don't have a printer!

good to know, though. i could have been easily fooled into this one, since i've got quite a few small packages on the way (guitar hardware AND internet shopping orders)

Exactly, and we get those UPS Quantum View messages from Warmoth. I consider myself to be fairly safe on the net. I don't open things that I'm not sure about etc. etc... but I would have been fooled by that too, considering that I had guitar parts coming this week.
