CAUTIONARY Notice: FedEx and UPS virus emails

FedEx and UPS virus emails


Some UNA users have received an older email scam which attempts to convince email recipients to open an attached .zip file. The email appears to be from either FedEx or UPS and urges the user to open an attached invoice file. The .zip file, supposedly the invoice, contains a virus. This file should NOT be opened.

Delete suspicious email.

Please remain suspicious of any email asking for personal information or offering unlikely promotions. Phishing emails and email scams are increasing as the nation returns to school.
