    Beware - fake UPS email has a virus.

    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.

      people still open random attatchments?

      I don't care if it says UPS. I don't open anything unless I asked for it. Like that stupid sallie mae email that contains a PDF file with a password on it - requires your SSN to open. fuck that! I don't care if it's really from Sallie Mae, it's a stupid ass idea.

        It always seems that scammers prefer Arial font. Those bastards.

                Thats a pretty clever virus. Im always waiting for shit to be recieved from ebay or other means of trading and selling online. So I probably would have opened up a UPS email. Nice heads up.

                  That almost fucked the business that I work for. Stupid ass Admin Assistants, thank god for virus protection that prevented her from opening the file.
