I've gotten e-mails from the USPS, UPS, and FEDEX about urgent packages undelivered.

Then there was the RIAA, announcing my ISP with access to the internet would soon be blocked unless I opened the details attachment.

All those are chump change.
The real crimminals have already sniffed through my dirty drawers, and hopefully not not liked it
(I'm still not sure the RIAA email was a hoax though).
problem is that a lot of these scams are not considered crimes until someone actually get scammed, and even when that happens FBI won't prosecute unless it's over 250k in losses. You can see an FBI agent admitting it here
