Hoax - Fraudulent UPS E-Mails Try to Deliver Malware Fraudulent
e-mails that claim to be from United Parcel Service (UPS) are now sweeping
through inboxes so keep your eyes open for them. These e-mails usually
contain a phony tracking number in the subject heading, and lead you to
believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered. You're then instructed
to open up the attachment to correct the delivery address, print out a
waybill or invoice, and pick up the package from a UPS office. See an
example of a UPS scam e-mail below: AtomicTechs:

Tutorial - Forwarding E-mail Messages While Protecting Address Privacy
We've
all received them—e-mails that have been forwarded multiple times and
contain a long list of e-mail addresses. Unfortunately, unscrupulous
people including hackers and spammers can harvest these addresses. To
prevent this from occurring when you forward e-mails, follow the steps
below to use the Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) feature. This allows you to send
messages to many recipients without displaying their addresses and
compromising their privacy. 1.
With
the selected e-mail open, click on the "Forward" button on the toolbar.
2.
If
the "Bcc" field is not visible, select "View" from the menu bar and then
select "All Headers" from the resulting drop-down menu. The "Bcc" field
will now be visible below the "Cc" field. 3.
Click
on the "Bcc" button and a list of all saved recipient e-mail addresses
will appear. You can choose from this list or you can manually enter the
e-mail addresses of your chosen recipients. 4.
As
a courtesy to others, highlight and then delete the "From" and "To"
addresses within the body of the e-mail so spammers don't harvest these
addresses. 5.
It
is a good idea to enter your personal e-mail address in the "To" field as
often times spam filters will catch messages that do not have an address
in the "To" field. 6.
