So I get this in my e-mail Spam folder today....


What do I do? Who do I report this to? I immediately DELETED it after taking the screenshot....
Is there any way I can track this back to who, or more likely WHAT sent it to me?

Funny thing is, I didn't even look at the name on the header
To: maryann kaiser@ya hoo.com (They didn't even get the GENDER correct)


and nearly OPENED the attachment because I've gotten 3 packages from UPS in the last week or so and am expecting one more.


Be VERY careful out there, Kiddies!!

1. Many large companies have special email addresses for such scams. For example,
the UPS website allows you to send email to [email protected]

Generally, I just forward such bogus emails directly to the company that is being spoofed, with an indication that it looks like a scam and their lawyers might be interested
