United Parcel Service (UPS) Notification Email Scam

A few days ago I posted something about the circulating FedEx Notice Email in which the alleged message from FedEx tells you something about an arriving package and you should download the attached .zip file to know more about it. Well, it seems that these "FedEx" guys shifted their delivery service to UPS, or United Parcel Service. Why do I think they're the same guys? It's because the message both mails contain remain essentially unchanged. The only thing that changed was the FedEx to United Parcel Service of America. Read the verbatim trojan/scam message below:

Dear customer.

The parcel was sent your home address.
And it will arrive within 3 business day.

More information and the tracking number are attached in document below.

Thank you.

Like I said in my previous post about the FedEx email, this message likely contains trojans or malware that will zombify your computer. If you see any "notification message" from FedEx or UPS and you have no delivery coming, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY. Better to be safe than sorry.

'Till my next installment.
