Package Delivery Failure Virus

Posted on 17:32 by Unknown
A good friend forwarded me this e-mail and I felt it was worth passing along.

The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure. You will
receive an e-mail 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.

Thank you Kim for this information.
