This one must be going out to millions of people. It’s at least the third version of it I have seen, and yes, it also has the malware (virus) in it.

If you get this one, the best thing to do is just delete it even before reading it.

This message is not for UPS and is from some lowlife who wants to infect your PC with harmful software.

Hello!

Unfortunately we failed to deliver the postal package sent on the
13th of December in time because the addressee’s address is
erroneous.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at
our office.

Well, I’ll tell you one thing. If you open the attachment that came with this message, you might very well end up with a “Problem.”

The attachment contains a virus which was caught and removed by my anti-virus software and was not sent by UPS as it claims.

Nice try amateurs, but you didn’t make the cut!

For those who may have received this and opened the attachment, you may not notice much happening to your PC and think you are safe, but don’t be too sure. It’s very possible that the virus contained is designed to hide on your PC and monitor your activity with the intent of capturing passwords and other personal information.

If you think the virus may have infected your PC, you are strongly urged to scan it thoroughly for any sign of infection immediately.
