Default Not a work scam but e-mail to watch out for
Hello all,

A friend sent me an e-mail today warning about a virus that comes disguised as a delivery failure notice from UPS or FedEx. I've rarely used those companies for personal mailings, but I'll bet a bunch of us do regularly for business material. Be careful.

Here's Snopes's take on it: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/ups.asp

Thank you for posting this. I use both services a lot and knowing to be a little more careful with an email from them makes things easier.

Thanks again.
