Caution: Virus Email Circulating UPS: United Parcel Service This is what you'll get in your email (or similar message): From: UPS Packet Service Subject: UPS Paket N0328795951
Dear Sir/Madam,
Unfortunately we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on July the 1st 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 | This is a REAL VIRUS Read about it here: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/ups.asp This is what I got directly from UPS: Attention Virus Update Service Update | We have become aware there is a fraudulent email being sent that says it is coming from UPS and leads the reader to believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered. The reader is advised to open an attachment reportedly containing a waybill for the shipment to be picked up.
This email attachment contains a virus. We recommend that you do not open the attachment, but delete the email immediately.
UPS may send official notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments. If you receive a notification message that includes an attachment and are in doubt about its authenticity, please contact [email protected].
Please note that UPS takes its customer relationships very seriously, but cannot take responsibility for the unauthorized actions of third parties.
Thank you for your attention. | |
