    UPS Virus warning

    I received this email yesterday and also exactly the same one on Wednesday. I Stupidly went to download the Invoice and got a virus warning, so did not proceed any further.
    I have not dispatched nor am I expecting anything being delivered at the moment.


    UPS Delivery Problem NR 00970.

    Dear customer!

    We were not able to deliver postal package you have sent on the 26th of January in time
    because the addressee's address is erroneous.
    Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.

    United Parcel Service of America.

    you could use anti spam software and prevent these downloading in to your mail program.
    I'm using these one: Spamhilator
    Code:

    you could use this one or similar program to block unwanted e-mails

    I've had quite a few of these UPS ones lately, they all get directed to the spam box though.

    If you receive a box warning you that ' You Have a Virus ' do not click on the box where it states click here for assistance/ help etc. if you do you will get effected just delete i receive one this week deleted immediatly, explained to rest of my family to do the same. A teacher at my wife's school was silly enough to click on and even put in her credit card details, she spent all the next day sorting out her mistake. IF IN DOUBT DELETE Best johnhenry.
