I just got an e-mail from a buddy who works at UPS.

Hi all,
We received notice that there is a fake UPS email floating around. Basically, it says something about you having a UPS waybill and need to open an attachment to get it. As always, don't open any attachments... Besides, we deliver stuff in these nifty brown trucks, not emails.

Thanks...I heard this from another source..Fedex also being used as a way to spread this virus.

I got a similar warning on my work email from the company IT department. In the 6 months I've been with my current employer this is the first virus email warning I've gotten. I assume that it looks pretty legit.

I had a spate of these across several of our email addresses maybe a couple of months ago. They got trashed by my mail washer but I did see them all on the blacklist. Probably received a dozen or so; not to all email addies though as we have two hosts. The ones with host A got them, the ones with host B didn't.

The paypal ones seem to have started again though...
