OT - probable virus alert

By waterspaniel - Wed 10/09/08 20:20:54 GMT

If you get an e-mail like this, DO Not click on the attachment for the receipt, supposedly from United Parcel Service, it is almost certainly a virus:

Unfortunately we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on September the 1st in time

because the recipient’s address is not correct.

Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office

There are several suspicious things about this:

1. I didn't send any "postal package" on Sept. 1.

2. If this is UPS, why are they calling it a "postal package"? UPS doesn't refer to their parcels that way.

3. How did UPS get my e-mail address? I never gave it to them.

4. If the package is not deliverable UPS simply returns it to you, they don't send you an e-mail to come to their office and pick it up.

5. What do they mean by "in time"? If it's overnight delivery and they don't deliver it overnight, they simply refund your extra cost.

6.. Where are their offices located? They don't say.

Again, this has to be a virus. BE WARY.
