Very recently I received an email with the subject "FedEx system notification", notifying me about some sort of parcel that was sent to my
address.
The mail also contained an attachment purporting to contain information about the parcel
and its tracking number.
This made me suspicious primarily because
- I had not ordered any such parcel.
- The same email was sent to a large number of persons.
I got the attachment examined and it did contain a VIRUS.
Now if you receive such emails I would advice you not to download the (ZIP) file attachment as it contains a potentially harmful virus! I would also clarify that such emails are not sent by FedEx .
The email I received is reproduced below:
Dear customer
