I have gotten 6 emails saying they were from darn't now my brain is malfunctioning and I can't remember there name its the delivery service Brown trucks saying I have a package coming first of all how would they get my email second I haven't ordered anything I have just been deleting them without opening I do hope its a scam

I get stuff like that all the time. It's just scam! As soon as you open and click on the link they steal all your information on your computer. Never open them. If you have a package that needs delivery then the company will contact you by phone or leave a note on your door. Never fall for the email contact.

About a month ago, I got a e-mail - suposedly from UPS -saying that a package I had mailed could not be delivered & to respond. As I don't use UPS, I called them. The e-mail was not from UPS & I was told to forward it to - I think it was [email protected]

If you Google UPS email scam you'll find a lot of talk of virus going around.

I got this one the other day too!

YES!!! Big scam. I get at least 5 emails a day for stuff like that. I have been tempted to change my email, but I have had the same one since I started email back in 1988! So I just hit delete, delete, delete....

I believe those are some sort of scam, I've gotten a couple over the last year.. I delete them right away. You generally know when you ordered something.

never open anything with an attachment unless you personally know the sender, and even then, be careful.

Yup...I had to change all my passwords etc. the other day.
Got a supposively email from my SIL asking me to be her freind on a site like "facebook"...dummy me not wanting her to be insulted if I didn't make her my friend said yes...Well you can imagine...a few hrs later I get an email from her saying they were hacked...and not to open the email. So I immediately changed everything and hoped I got to my stuff in time...so far so good.

Sounds like one to me..I got one the other day that said it was from my phone company and I needed to update my billing..Just delete it..

Those have been in my spam lately,UPS & Fedex. I just delete all. I figure they are a scam. :roll:

Sad that some people have nothing better to do than send those. But it was on our news one day that they are indeed a spam and can really put a hurtin on your computer. Delete anything you don't know.

Spam!

Put the addy on your blocked sender list and you won't get them any longer. They'll be stopped by your ISP. Simple really.

I get the same emails too - they are usually in my spam list - I just delete them - if I really have a package - I know about it and where its coming from (tracking #)

I just got a legitimate looking email from citbank/citcards saying I had a balance of 200.51 on a card ending 7446. I don't have a card that ends with those 4 digits so I called the CustServ number at Citibank. They checked (via my ssn) and said I had no credit card accounts open at all. So, I forwarded the email to the [email protected] address and [email protected] (FTC reporting). Now, I've got to go check my credit report. You'd think that these people could get caught, but noooooo. Too many of them and they all have psuedonyms, avatars, and don't really "exist". What a weird age we live in!

SCAM SCAM SCAM--open it and you are hacked, then they send emails to ALL you contacts--your ISP can and WILL shut you down.
SUPERAntiSpyware keeps you protects, and it is free--much better than being shut down and computer in the shop for days, and all your friends and forums mad at you!

I've been seeing stuff on FB saying that someone is looking for me. Of course you immediately say "hmmmm wonder who that could be" but luckily I didn't fall for them! I'm in contact with all the people I want to be in contact with! AND you get all these sites that say "free' then there's all these hoops you have to jump thru...what's with that?

Another way to get your information!

The attached zip file has a very bad virus in it....DO NOT OPEN....be sure to marka s spam and delete it....This came from UPS (brown shipping co)

I just got that e-mail this morning ... deleted it right away.

What to do is to contact the company, ONLY when you can google the address or take it from a phone book.

NEVER EVER click on what they send you. I just got an email sternly informing me that my bank account had been hacked, and they were waiting for me to confirm +++my account number and password so they could delete the charges against it. +++++++

I went online and found the bank's fraud address and forwarded it to them. Rec an automated answer saying thanks, they will take care of it.

I have that problem now and then and I hit the Norton Anti Virus button and call it spam...and have it blocked. It works for a while. So many crooks out there, they should get a real job.

My rule is if i don't know who is sending i don't open. When i order something it comes to regular account not the spam account.

Definitely a scam. There has been a warning about these types of e-mail for a while.

I had to laugh at this, because I've heard other people do exactly the same thing! They don't remember it's UPS, they just know it's "that Brown company" as one guy put it when he was talking to me. I don't watch much TV, so I hadn't seen the ads and didn't know what people were talking about at first. LOL, I think maybe their ad campaign was a little too successful, as people know recognize the brown more than the company name.

I get them too, and just delete them because they're scams. You can read about them on the UPS website.

I got one the other day it was the first I ever got. deleted it because I did not order anything.REALLY SCARY

I got the same type of mail a few months ago from USPS and now from UPS. They all come to my spam folder. Really, do they think that UPS has our e-mail address? THis is not how they do business. It is a virus.

I had two of them in my mail yesterday. I have also gotten things from the FBI which I have not opened and gotten rid of them as fast as I can.

When I get a "suspicious" e-mail, I right click on the senders name (without opening the e-mail) then I click on properties. Then click on Details and then message source and it will let you see what is in the e-mail without opening it. It is a safe way to see what the sender message is. My SIL is a computer security engineer and he told me to do this to check on any e-mail.

It's UPS and yes it's bad. Do Not open that email it has terrible trojans that will zap out your computer.... REPEAT... DO NOT OPEN THAT EMAIL... DELETE IT!

Send it to your scam email and they will take care of it and not bother you again

GREAT tip - can't wait to try it out!

Hosta DO NOT OPEN its a virus the delivery services NEVER send E/Mail to people about dates of delivery

UPS and yep my questions were the same and figured they would notify me by phone or leave note on door.

I've gotten several of them and just delete them. It's not the way UPS does business to my knowledge.

Delete delete spam all the way

DELETE DELETE DELETE If you didn't order it, DELETE!
