UPS email is it a freebie?

lesliejack

has anyone else had emails supposedly from UPS saying they were unable to deliver a package. I have tried entering the tracking number on the website but it comes up unfound. The email asks me to open an attachment so I can print out an invoice and collect my parcel from their office. Is this genuine does anyone know? Am i missing a freebie?

Don't open the attachment! It's a virus. It's crashed about 50 PCs at my offices.

If you think you may have a parcel, ring UPS directly. They would have left a crad at your home and not emailed (I think) - but unless you know exactly what it is, don't risk it!!!

Do not open the attachment unless you have scanned it with an anti-virus program. Never trust email attachments unless its from someone you know and still scan them. Do the from and reply-to email addresses look valid?

Also make sure you have an up to date virus scanner.

Thanks so much. I did wonder when I couldn't track the supposed number on the website. :mad: Nasty people!

I've had these a few weeks back and deleted them straight away. I never open attachments unless I've been told beforehand to expect them. Best be safe than sorry

This is a scam/ virus

A courier company will never email you ! They may put a card through your letter box if the driver a.has one b. can be bothered to fill it in .
