I pass on the following, reported by a lady I know on another forum:-
I received an e-mail today from DHL advising me that a parcel from the US couldn't be delivered, due to the address being incorrect and if I printed a label, I could collect at their office. I wasn't expecting anything, so did a Snopes check and apparently when you click on the link to get the label, a virus is downloaded. _________________ Ron |

Thanks for the warning.
Sadly this type of thing is regular these days. I get approx 150 spam emails a day, probably of this ilk, so I use Norton Antispam which identifies most of them and I also put anything from anyone that isn't on my address book in the delete bin , I scan the delete bin and then delete the lot. Never opening any of them
If I am not expecting any parcels etc then I wouldn't expect an email from DHL etc. |
