UPS Uniforms
I recieved this from good authority.
UPS Uniforms
Government Warning regarding purchase of UPS uniforms:
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 (terrorists) 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, call your local law enforcement agency right away!
TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! Tell everyone in your office, your family, your
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!

Re: Hoax - fortunately! =)
Sorry for the post!
I received this info from an intelligence unit of the Denver Police as a warning. Go figure? I’m glad it’s a hoax.

THIS IS CRAZY...I would imagine they would be targeting huge financial firms! Governmental agencies, rather than homes, where they would do the most damage and take the most lives.

snopes.com gives little credence to this story. Says stories have been floating around since 2003.
check for yourself.

How I fact-check ...
I'll copy the first sentence or so of pretty much ANYTHING, and put that into Google's search bar. If it's viral (like this was), it'll show you who/what has debunked or, said it, published it, etc. I also do this with forum posts that have a 'copied/pasted' feel to them, but aren't sourced.

Guess they will be changing their catch phrase..."What can brown do for you."
