Australia Post email scam

Had a friend on Face Book share  apparently there is a major malicious Email campaign that says it is from AUSTRALIA POST - if you get one saying "Australia Post Ground Service Delivery" Do not open the email or click on any links/attachments.

Jeeze, is nothing safe or sacred ?

When I got my first computer 16 years ago, my children told me NEVER to click on a link in email or press the reply button. If it sounds important, ring the company and talk over the phone. And never ring a number that is given in email.

I have followed those instructions religiously.

I won't even click on links from eBay or Paypal. I go to my accounts the regular way to check what the email is all about.

Must have missed out on a fortune, deleting all those WINNER and CONGRATULATION mails without opening them.
