Today I found that I'd received an e-mail from "United Parcel Service" giving a UPS tracking number and stating
"Unfortunately we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on July the 1st in time
because the recipients address is not correct.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office
Your UPS"
There is a .zip attachment as well which I've not touched.
Now as far as I know I've not sent any parcels which sent alarm bells ringing in my head. I'm fairly sure this is a virus.
Anyone else got one of these / heard anything about it?

A real UPS message would give you a link to the UPS website to check the status of your package, not a ZIP file.Bedlam wrote:Today I found that I'd received an e-mail from "United Parcel Service" giving a UPS tracking number and stating

Re: Possible Virus
Especially since if anyone sends you an email asking for a correct address, it'll be the company you order from. The UPS will just return to sender if they don't have the correct address.Darth Wong wrote: A real UPS message would give you a link to the UPS website to check the status of your package, not a ZIP file.
