    It's rather nastier than a scam I'm afraid, it's a virus.

    I have been getting this e-mail aswell.
    As long as you dont open the attachment then its fine, just delete it. If you have opened the attachment then please do as Soolin says & go to the Techie board as it is a virus.

    I assume they must of opened it to get the tracking number, probably worth getting Malwarebytes and running a scan.
