Hi Chris,
If your not expecting anything then I would suspect its a scam, this link may help you identify it.

You should forward it to customs on their site.

Sounds like its similar to these UPS emails I’ve been getting.

Yes, I been getting the UPS emails as well. I’m not expecting any parcels and suspect they are either a scam or virus. If in doubt – delete is my motto
Cheers

I got that same email yesterday Chris ……………. also the UPS one.

unless it’s something like a pallet of goods, a car, etc, which would stay at a bonded warehouse until you pay for it, then the postie would bring it to your dorr and ask you to pay the duties on it, if you can’t, it goes back to the PO until you do.
they’ve NEVER emailed me, and never will! well.. except when i imported big stuff and had to speak to them, but they don’t mail you to inform you it’s there.

We’ll I got loads of these yesterday – not just one but about 10 so there 😛
The attachment was a zipped file which I’m assuming is a virus that would activate when unzipped

I’ve just started getting the UPS emails – about 10 each morning. I must make a note of the numbers given to see if they repeat each day, are we all getting the same numbers I wonder?

I’m feeling left out.
Not a single one so far. 😀

I get a lot of emails from British banks saying there is a problem with my account. Of course there is! The problem is that I have no British bank accounts.
Lately I have been getting a scam one from my actual credit card company (looks real enough) I thought there was a problem there until I looked and saw that the email was addressed to Jill Miller.
D’oh!
Logged on to my credit card’s site, lo and behold there is a warning about this very same email.
Love….Jill -
Yes I had that as it got thru spamfighter and opened the ZIP to find a suspicous attachment… i am waiting for 1 or 2 items from europe.
Just looked in Spamfighter folder, two more there.
