FW: REAL VIRUS PER SNOPES Notice UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure Notice (OT)

[Guest guest]

Oh DID get something like this, right after I sent off a gift to someone via

UPS!!  Luckily I didn't print it though, and before knowing it was a virus just

went back to UPS and they confirmed that my package WAS delivered and signed

for--SO glad I didn't print or try to reply to it!

Real Virus Per Snopes " Notice UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure Notice "

 

Another real virus: UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure Notice. Read Snopes below:

 

A REAL VIRUS

 

The newest virus circulating is the 'UPS Delivery Failure'. You may receive an

email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The word packet

is mis-spelled on this line. It will say that they were un-able 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.
