Is this spam (UPS Tracking Number.....)?

pandora205

I had an email today with this heading that goes on to say:

Unfortunately we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on July the 25 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

It looks like spam and has an attachment, not least as I can't recall having sent anything! Comments please

If it's one of those, the attachment will be a .zip file with a .exe file within - the payload.

I had the exact same email today .... deleted it straight away.

I had the same one today.

It was automatically put in my spam folder and as I don't have any dealings with UPS I will delete without even looking/opening it.

Thanks.

I just found it on another site (Lancaster University Information Services webpage lists it as a downloader).

I'll delete immediately!

These are evil.

I received one last week, telling me they were holding a parcel for me from France, and I WAS expecting a parcel from France.

Sure enough, when I examined it carefully the attachment was a zip file with an .exe in it.

No idea exactly what; it arrived on my Mac, which can't run an .exe anyway.

I trashed it securely - and so should everyone else who gets one.

It's good that you posted this thread to warn others. :A

I received 6 of these mails per day over the last couple of days, I've also recieve mails from the same gang but showing as from 'LSM Company' instead of 'UPS Postal Service'

Junked them straight away but what concerns me is that they came to an email account I don't use and using addresses I've used rarely, couple I assume they've scrapped of the web but anyother I can only assume they got by intercepting the email as I only used the address once to test email between two PC's

I've received a few of these in the last 2 weeks and I DO use UPS. Luckily I was not expecting anything so just deleted them.

I had one of these today, my antivirus checker picked it up straightaway

I keep getting these - just to warn anyone else who receives them. I was expecting something via UPS so I almost opened it, but fortunately I didn't.
