New Scam?

Just got this email with a zip file. I'm so used to being Fearless Fosgate with my computer, I almost clicked on the zip file before I came to my senses.


Hello,

We have received a parcel for you, sent from France on July 9. Please fill out the customs declaration attached to this message and send it to us by mail or fax. The address and the fax number are at the bottom of the declaration form.

Kind regards,
Kevin Rocha
Your Customs Service

Get 'em daily. The zip file could contain a Trojan virus.

Unless you are expecting a parcel from France, you should ignore it.

They either want some personal information from you or there really is a package....go pick it up and end up in jail for drug traficking.
