With all the shipping we do, I thought I would post this. I know we don't use UPS as much as USPS, but better safe than sorry.
I just checked this out on Snopes, and it IS a legitimate virus. For those of you who deal with UPS at work, beware of opening anything. You can always go directly to their website to check status as long as you have a tracking number.
The newest virus circulating is the "UPS Delivery Failure". You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line. It will say that they were un-able to deliver a package sent to you on such and such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.
Hope this helps.
