Hi all,

Just wanted some reassurance fbefore I delete this email! Looks well dogdy, but wondered if anyone else had ever had one?

From: UPS Manager Nikki
Subject:UPS Tracking Number 9999527.

Content:

Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox.

Its written exactly as above - with exclamation marks, not my name. I haven't opened the attachement as I expect its viral.

I have tried putting the reference number in the UPS tracker online, and got this:

UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.

Tracking Number: 9999527

I have also been home all week due to the snow, so suspect its a scam. What does anyone else think please. Thanks guys

Well if it helps, I get loads of junk email but I've never seen an email like this before

I had this yesterday - delete it immediately. If you hover over the attachment you will see it is a zip file - spells virus in my mind.

Delete it!

If UPS really had something for you, they'd contact you properly

I got one the same as that yesterday. It didnt ring true so I googled ups scams and there it was.

Thanks peeps! I have deleted now

Like Calash says, I've had loads of junk, but never seen one like this before. Usually I get phishing ones telling me I need to update my bank details

Lots of luck today x

I have had shipments from UPS and they always ring me to tell me they will be delivering. I've never had that sort of an email although I get loads of junk, my view is that if in doubt delete!

i use hoax slayer to check for hoax emails before i open anything

bullshot

I got this as well...the bad English is always a clue to it being a scam email ...'Please Attention'.... I deleted it straight away...

UPS don't have a "post office" either - just another scam

kisto

I got this too and as bullshot said the bad spelling immediately set alarm bells ringing....then seeing there was a zip file attached I knew it was dodgy so deleted it.
