Attention Virus Warning

We have become aware there is a fraudulent e-mail being sent that says it is coming from UPS and leads the reader to believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered. The reader is advised to open an attachment reportedly containing a waybill for the shipment to be picked up.

This e-mail attachment contains a virus. We recommend that you do not open the attachment, but delete the e-mail immediately.

UPS may send official notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments. If you receive a notification message that includes an attachment and are in doubt about its authenticity, please contact customerservice@ups.com.

Please note that UPS takes its customer relationships very seriously, but cannot take responsibility for the unauthorized actions of third parties.

Thank you for your attention.

This would work if you were expecting a UPS delivery. Very tricky.

Thanks Stinger. I sent to the wife as she uses UPS, FedEx and all that shit. Their business would be a nice target for this new approach.

Thanks

Got one of these emails and marked it as junk, as I wasn't expecting anything from UPS. I use plain old Canada Post when I have to.
