That story is now available in the Club Services, Library of Materials, section of www.aanr.com <<a href=http://www.aanr.com/>http://www.aanr.com/</a>> . <br>This week one of our clubs contacted us with news of a hoax that has been circulating both on the Internet and by fax and e-mail about the UPS (United Parcel Service) uniform hoax. The notice arrives bearing some "official" trappings, including the name and title of an official in the Department of Homeland Security. The notice advises that a huge quantity of UPS uniforms has been sold on eBay, and that officials fear the uniforms 05 be used for nefarious purposes to gain access to businesses and premises under the guise of making deliveries.<br>The club that contacted us did AANR the favor of calling their local UPS depot, which confirmed that the story is a hoax that has been circulating for some time. Our office also did a check on the Web site <a href=http://www.snopes.com
