Help please - this must be a scam? email from UPS

MissBailey

I got one of these this morning too. I seem to have received an inordinate amount of spam recently to an account I only use for email comps ('cause it's connected to Outlook). I think I must have entered a dodgy comp recently...

I have just received this email too about 5 minutes ago. It has a different tracking number to the one mentioned and it is not addressed to my email address but to Claire Betts at yahoo but came into the email account I keep for competitions. I do not know anyone with this name. It is from "UPS Manager Grant Prescott".

I also had AntiVirus Warnings this morning when I was on timeout.com saying there was a virus in the adverts there but just said to click delete and it would be OK. I did a full system virus scan after that and it did not find anything.

I've had the same message to three of my email addresses!

Definitely a scam! UPS will normally attempt to deliver to your door. If you are out you will get a note through your door, not an email; How would they know your email address anyway?

Hit delete every time

I delete an average of one a day of these! Not always Nikki - various names. Got scam written all over them!!

I have had loads of these. I reported on e that was supposed to be from DHL as they are asking people to let them know so they can check them out and try to see where they are coming from.

Thanks for the conformation everyone, I received one yesterday, and as I'm waiting for a few parcels it was starting to worry me!

If anyone has an Apple Mac then they don't need to worry about any virus as a Mac will not read any viruses ever. Cheers
