My daughter Isabel, (computer programming GURU), sent me an email that I have taken very seriously. It was sent to her from one of the organizations she belong to:
Member to Member Info from our friends at the Carrabelle Chamber:
Felt this worth passing along -- with Christmas coming, I can see where this could be a real problem.
The newest virus circulating is the Package Delivery Failure Virus. You will receive an e-mail from UPS, Fed Ex or US Postal Service. 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 or shipping label attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home.
Snopes confirms that it is real.
