Email Scam - Another One - Surprise! Surprise!
UPS email scam
The spammers and scammers keep coming up with ways to make it more difficult to come resist the temptation of opening their crap and taking advantage of you.
This one concerns a package that can't be delivered.
Here is the text of the message:
Unfortunately we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on July 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
Your UPS
The email instructs you to open and print an attachment. There is a very good chance that the attachment contains a virus.
Our research shows many warnings that there is a virus attached to this email, but could find nothing from UPS.
Seems to me that UPS would have a duty of care to post something on their website.
Our recommendation is to delete this email, unless you have just sent something via UPS. In that case contact UPS directly, rather than opening the email.
It is a dangerous world out there but using a bit of caution can make a lot of difference.
If they send out enough emails they are bound to find some people that just booked a ticket.
