There’s an email purporting to be from UPS (United Parcels Service) stating that a package has arrived and will be delivered in 3 days. There’s an attachment in the email for the recipient to obtain the tracking number for the parcel. Do not download the (ZIP) file attachment as it contains a virus! The attachment file name is UPS-document.zip and it’s a virus with no information about any tracking number. The email also has 9 other recipient email addresses. Why would any carrier such as UPS send to multiple addresses? They would not! If you receive an email from UPS with an attachment, delete it.
