VIRUS ALERT!
« Reply #-1 on: November 08, 2014, 01:24:35 PM »

 
 
ALERT
 
Feel this worth passing along.  With  the  holidays coming up, I can see where this could be a real  problem.
     
   The newest virus circulating is the  UPS/Fed Ex/USPS Delivery  Failure.
     
   You will receive an e-mail from UPS,  Fed Ex, or  USPS along with a packet number.
     
   It will say that they were   unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date.
     
   It  then asks you to print out  the invoice copy attached.
     
   DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES  THE VIRUS!
     
   Pass this warning on to all your  PC  operators at work and home.
     
   This virus has  caused Millions  of dollars in damage in the past few days.
     
     
   Snopes confirms that it is  real.

I got one of those emails last week..I called Fed Ex and they said it was a hoax, no package and it was spam and gave me an email addy to forward it to them so they could track the email.
abuse@fedex.com is where you forward the email to so they can do their magic and maybe find out where it is coming from.

He must have a really big family, as well as a lot of lottery winnings.  I'll always be able to say I knew you when....
