I got a text this morning from the USPS to select delivery options on a package they were unable to deliver because I wasn't home to sign for it. The sending phone number had a country code of 63 (Philippines).

Yesterday I got email from the Social Security administration to confirm some change in my account. Showing full headers on the email revealed that it was sent by the host "mail.dnmchs.ru". Yes, that "ru" means it came from Russia.

I hope I live long enough to see our existing laws against spam and phishing enforced. This seems like the "wild west" before the sheriff came to town.
