Fedex or UPS Scam

Hi Everyone, I've seen a couple of these scam emails supposedly from Fedex, UPS or other Carrier.  Look out for theses kinds of emails. Here is the info on this from SANS Institute:

--Spam Pretends to be About Undeliverable FedEx Package (September 1, 2008) Spammers have been sending out phony messages that claim to be from FedEx regarding an undeliverable parcel.  The recipients are instructed to print an attachment that the message claims is a bill, but which is actually a .zip file that infects the user's computer with malware capable of stealing sensitive financial account information, deactivating firewalls, and taking screen shots. Spammers have also sent out messages pretending to be from DHL and UPS.
