Suspicious, don't you think?

I was checking my email and saw this note in my junk mail from Fedex couriers telling me that  my package was shipped but no one was home.  It asked me to click on this link to print my claim receipt.  It gave dates of order and delivery.  Coincidentally, I am expecting a package so I almost printed the receipt.  Then I thought twice, went back to my actual order and realized  the order dates were different and it was a different courier.  That was a close one.  In any case, if a delivery is missed we usually get an actual notice stuck on our front door.  Suspicious, don't you think?

I've managed to find the perfect frame for one  of my recent paintings.  It will be part of a gift for a friend.  The frame is matted and fits the (4.5" x 6.5") cardstock perfectly! I found this informative article with advice on framing and matting your artwork.  I haven't gone too wrong here.

My dad got the same email, he called fedex and the read him the email verbatim without him reading it first. It's a major scam going on right now, and it's funny, because he also had a package he was waiting for. Nice frame indeed.

Fred, it seems there is a definite link here to people receiving packages. Mine is coming from UPS so someone must
have access to their delivery schedule.

That is one of my favorite art works by you to date, Christine. Funny you should provide the link to framing, as I am about to take a print in for re-matting due to mold and mildew.
