Is this a new type of scam (posing as the US Postal Service)?

It's not the USPS, obviously.


If it was, it would be the USPS, not U.S.P.S.

And hotmail, again, obviously not.

If the USPS was to provide an address, it would probably be a .gov domain.

It a coincidence.

Send out a eleventy-billion of those scam letters, and somebody is bound to be expecting a package that's coincidentally, has been delayed.

USPS often uses .com domains - in fact, I can't recall ever getting email from USPS with a gov suffix. At least, that's the way it is when I order shipping supplies from them.
