Happy Holidays to you and your family!

This has been circulating since July 2008 and it’s been popping up in people’s emails recently.  Just thought I’d bring this to your attention.

Here’s the email:

[Collected via e-mail, July 2008]

From: UPS Packet Service
Subject: UPS Paket N0328795951

Dear Sir/Madam,

Unfortunately we were not able to deliver the postal package you sent on July the 1st in time because the recipient’s address is not correct.

Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.

Your UPS

And an updated email that has been circulating since August 2008
This is UPS response:

Attention: Virus Warning
Service Update

We have become aware there is a fraudulent e-mail being sent that says it is coming from UPS and leads the reader to believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered.  The reader is advised to open an attachment reportedly containing a waybill for the shipment to be picked up.

This e-mail attachment contains a virus.  We recommend that you do not open the attachment, but delete the e-mail immediately.

UPS may send official notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments.  If you receive a notification message that includes an attachment and are in doubt about its authenticity, please contact customerservice@ups.com.

Please note that UPS takes its customer relationships very seriously, but cannot take responsibility for the unauthorized actions of third parties.

Thank you for your attention.
