SPAM, PHISHING & ONLINE SCAMS --Spam Pretends to be About Undeliverable FedEx Package (September 1, 2008) Spammers have been sending out phony messages that claim to be from FedEx regarding an undeliverable parcel. The recipients are instructed to print an attachment that the message claims is a bill, but which is actually a .zip file that infects the user's computer with malware capable of stealing sensitive financial account information, deactivating firewalls, and taking screen shots. Spammers have also sent out messages pretending to be from DHL and UPS. http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7012135991 So if you are not expecting a package don't pay attention to these kinds of emails. If you are, then most likely you won't be getting a bill via email. Either way, be careful out there. |
