Beware of emails like this

Below is a copy and paste from an email I got. I don't normally worry about things like this, but everyone gets packages through the mail or by shipper and it is possible you could get fooled by it.

So don't get fooled.

Subject: New Virus (NO JOKE)



New Virus This is legitimate. Please pass this along to your friends. The

newest virus circulating is

The UPS/FedEx/DHL Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS/Fed

Ex Service along with a packet number.

It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on

such-and-such a date.



It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached.



DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!



Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home.



This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.



Snopes confirms that it is real.

Thanks for putting out the word Roger! I received several of these emails also. Luckly I didn't have anything ordered at the time so I didn't open them but if I had been waiting on a package I probably would have opened them. Be careful!
