(((Alert))) Bad email going around

[toyotatruckin]

There is a spam email going around that has an attachment that will infect your computer, if you get one DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!!! The attachment is a zip file thats your first clue. I got one this morning (didnt open the file) But I can see how this could be something that would lead someone to opening the file especially if you are waiting on packages.. Below is what I received and what you should look for: At the end of the heading there will be a random number

Post Express Office. Package is available for pickup.

The best way to combat this type of spam is to have your anti-virus program scan all attachments before it allows them to be opened. I use Mc Caffee and it catches all virus infected attachments

The grammar alone makes this one an "untouchable".

I've been getting a lot of those the past month or longer. Apparently they're targeting people who aren't smart enough to realize that post offices don't have your e-mail address nor do parcel post companies like UPS or Fed-Ex.

Here's one that I received:

This is a post notification
