Received an e-mail today from so called FedEx. My computer protection told me it was scam and wouldn`t allow any opening of this rubbish.
The fake mail was sent from autokreditbank-googlemail.com in my case.
also one for dhl
The email was not sent from fedex.com. Their email address was spoofed.use the Search on this website and to search for "email spoofing". This will educate you about email spoofing.
Attachment is a virus. Forward the email to FedEx. Abuse-fedex.com
I am getting the same email, but it's coming from Fedex.com - so it looks like they may be improving it. FYI
I ALWAYS look at the senders email address. Mine came from holsteringuo5-afes.comhide Since when is there a server called dot comhide??What a piece of work. Where can we report them?
The website that the link in the email message took us to, was removed. So, we do not know what was on that website.
What does this email do? Does it do anything if you open it without clicking on any links?
My whole office was scammed dont open!
