I had two of them in my mail yesterday. I have also gotten things from the FBI which I have not opened and gotten rid of them as fast as I can.

When I get a "suspicious" e-mail, I right click on the senders name (without opening the e-mail) then I click on properties. Then click on Details and then message source and it will let you see what is in the e-mail without opening it. It is a safe way to see what the sender message is. My SIL is a computer security engineer and he told me to do this to check on any e-mail.

It's UPS and yes it's bad. Do Not open that email it has terrible trojans that will zap out your computer.... REPEAT... DO NOT OPEN THAT EMAIL... DELETE IT!

UPS and yep my questions were the same and figured they would notify me by phone or leave note on door.

I've gotten several of them and just delete them. It's not the way UPS does business to my knowledge.
