Yeah, I got one of those too, and it almost had me for a minute, as I was expecting as delivery at the time. Looked very genuine until I looked a little closer at it, but I could have quite easily been fooled!

Yeah two people in work opened a .zip then ran a .exe to "print a mailing label"

One of the scams was really primitive but it didn't stop one of our tame Italians blaming the post office -(the mail was from 'post office express' to 'dear client'

The other was much more polished. Anyway seems most folk on this forum are smart enough to not open attachments or follow links (I hope)

But a timely and very helpful warning and one to pass on.

Thanks guys.

Not really a scam but an extreme annoyance - my hotmail address is being deluged with spam at the moment and every one of them uses a different series of numbers in front of the first part of my email address as the senders address so even blocking the sender I'm still getting mountains of email in my spam filter. What makes it doubly annoying is that I have my email diverted to my iphone so I'm even paying to get their f Censored g Spam through my me.com address! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
