this is there email address
U.S._Postal_Service @ usps.com

u-s-p-s@post.com? The US postal service is usps.com. The language sounds decidedly not American. I hope you didn't sent much because you are likely to see even less of it.

That sounds like they expect YOU to ship something to them and send them the UPS tracking number. IF they sent something to you, it should have had a UPS tracking number which you can track at the link below.
Without more details, I would be very skeptical. It reads like they learned their English in Nigeria.
How did they expect to be paid? IF they want a photo of your driver's license, you could be set up as a victim of identiy theft ... especially if your driver's license has your social security number on it which about a dozen states do.

yes.. scam
----------------------------------
To Avoid scams here is what i tell people...
All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone out of state or from a foreign
country or Accept or cash checks from strangers and never use wire/bank
transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER(ever) give out your personal
information to strangers online or offline! Always be on guard.

Very confused here ,
You said you bought something but they are talking about shipping you cash . . .
"We want you to verify these shipping information below which we are going to deliver your money to: "
Sounds like you are both a bit sideways !

a usps email address would be @usps.com the bad english (driving liscense, et al) also would leave me to think its not real.
