Just received an email supposedly from UPS couriers:
Dear customer!
The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.
Cause: Error in shipping address.
You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly!
Please attention!
The shipping label is attached to this e-mail.
Please print this label to get this package at our post office.
Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox.
Thank you.
United Parcel Service of America.
The email had an attachment which was a zip file. Inside the file is an executable file which is doubtlessly some sort of virus or malware.
IF YOU RECEIVE THIS SORT OF THING
DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!!! You'll be inviting some sort of problem into your computer.
The bad spelling, poor grammar (sounds like a foreigner wrote it) and plain old 'times new roman' font really gives it away as a hoax, plus the fact that I'm not expecting anything from a courier!!
Strangely my antivirus didn't recognise it as anything dangerous so it may be brand new. Be warned, be aware
