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 would say, unless they tell you who it is coming from, like "Your package from Fabric.com cannot be shippped" and you KNOW you ordered from them, I'd wipe it out. LOL, see how I assume all packages to us are fabric, LOL.

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.
