UPS/FedEx/DHL Delivery Failure . This one’s real. You can verify/read about it here.

This latest virus that’s circulating is the “UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure”, initially launched in July, 2008. It will be an email from UPS or FedEx or DHL along with a packet number. It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy, attached. The attachment looks like a harmless Microsoft Word doc. In reality it contains a malicious virus named ‘ups_invoice.exe’.

Don’t try to print this. It launches the virus!

Pass this warning on to everyone you know. And by the way, unless you are absolutely sure of the source, don’t ever (knowingly) download a file that ends in ‘.exe‘.
