fed ex virus?

[lauralh]

I got an email from Fed Ex (I haven't ordered anything using them as a carrier):

subject: Track your parcel NO3456‏

Dear client,

Your package has been returned to the FedEx office.
The reason of the return is - Error in the delivery address.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.

FedEx Global Mail

Included was a zip file of an executable, which I haven't been stupid enough to run, since the description of the file shows up as "LjWiAMPLelOd", product name is "QBpuoDm8xGz2l", and creator is "KraZKvc".

None of these terms have shown up on Google, and my virus scanner isn't doing anything either.

Anyone?

The FedEx site explains it and asks that it be forwarded to abuse@fedex.com

Those things (and the similar ones from "UPS") go past my inbox and straight into my spam folder. I haven't bothered to open any of them, either, since they never line up with any expected packages, and any problems I have had with orders usually involve contact from the seller, rather than the shipping carrier.

It's not real.

You mean it's not a real virus? Wow!

None of this is even happening!
