Below is an email that should be fwd to EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
All Americans need to be aware of this !
SO PLEASE ENSURE YOU LET FOLKS KNOW WHO DO NOT HAVE COMPUTERS OR EMAIL.

Purchase of UPS uniforms: BE ALERT!!!!
From: Samuel C. Johnson III, Assistant Commissioner
Office of Homeland Security and
Emergency Services
FW: Force Protection Warning

There has been a huge purchase, $32,000 worth, of United Parcel Service (UPS) uniforms on eBay over the last 30 days. This could represent a serious threat as bogus drivers can drop off anything to anyone with deadly consequences! If you have ANY questions when a UPS driver appears at your door, they should be able to furnish VALID I.D.. Additionally, if someone in a UPS uniform comes to make a drop off or pick up, make absolutely sure they are driving a UPS truck. UPS doesn't make deliveries or pickups in anything except a company vehicle. If you have a problem, IMM! EDIATELY call your local law enforcement agency right away! TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! Tell everyone in your office, family, friends, etc. Make people aware so that we can prepare and/or avoid terrorist attacks on our people! Thank you for your time in reviewing this and PLEASE send to EVERYONE on your list, even if they are friend or foe. We should all be aware!

Customers who are concerned about the legitimacy of any UPS delivery can call 1-800-PICK UPS to verify it, according to the company's spokesman.

Thank you for the alert. Just to be sure, I checked Snopes.com, the hoax/legend site, and they say this is a false rumor spread via e-mail and the internet. Here is the link:
