I am having to delete like 4 or 5 of these a day from my yahoo spam box. Sometimes more. LOL. I get them from every delivery company. UPS, FedEx, and DHL.

I had just recently sent something, too. But it was via USPS…not UPS. The email was short, full of grammatical and spelling errors. Had that stupid SIR/MADAM heading which no company would use.

Zip file? Hah! I don’t think so!

But, my, they’re persistent buggers.

In reply to Charlene:

I just wanted to add to your theory about a logo heading on the email. YOU CAN NOT expect that to be the case. I also recently recieved this email, not one but twice in the recent past. The first with no logo, the second with a Heading logo for USPS, it sent my computer into a continious loop, that I was unable to get past. I had to take it to the shop. And just after opening them I recieved two disturbing emails of Islamic propaganda. (Too wierd for me.)
Just today I recieved one from Fed Ex.
After fearing the loss of a years worth of work on a Heritage Cook Book, I learned not to open those things.
The Post Office advised me that in an actual situation, there would have been a notice in my mail box or on the door of my home if there were indeed a package that couldn’t be delivered for some reason.

And now they do the next step: the attachment already reads
[Virus entfernt] FEDEXInvoice….zip
[Virus entfernt] is German for [Virus removed], quite appropriate for sending a virus to a German email adress.
Furthermore, the hijacked computer sending the email (directly, without a “normal” email server inbetween) pretends to the receiving computer that its name is fedex.com:
from [125.170.6.149] (helo=fedex.com)
but the IP adress belongs to a Japanese network.

same wording almost to the letter, and I am waiting foe a package.
Other than the 30 other “golfbal” e-mail addresses in the bcc I was about to open it.
and since then I have got this email a couple of times.
