Fake email about delayed shipment - coincidence?

I just got this email:


Subject: Your Tracking # 79618742

Unluckily we can't bring your parcel that was sent on 16, June at the proper time as you indicated the wrong recipient’s address.

You can take your parcel back at our office. To do this you should print the invoice -

Good luck
Your UPS

You want a toe, I can get you a toe. I can even get you a spoofed UPS e-mail from scammers.

Everything is better with a picture.
