Feeld Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I agree it looks suspect but why not go to the Fedex website and ask them if the email is genuine or not, if nothing else you'll have peace of mind and Fedex will have been alerted to a scam? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've never received such an e-mail, but I believe that you can go on the FedEx website and verify the tracking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maprao Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) If it is Fedex you either ordered it or you know it is coming. If not just ignore it. I never open those emails. Edited July 20, 2012 by maprao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Does your anti-spam/anti-virus software not pick this up? These have been around for a while now, and whereas they can be updated, they normally run with the same coding. These attachments are a great advert for installing protection.

hawthorne Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yup got two such letters and sent them to spam. I never communicate by email with Fedex. Always online at their site. If it looks wrong it goes into trash. Never take chances. What about all the jokes sent around the world every day??? How many do you open that say xxx or do not open at the office? Some things you just too tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
