Email from DHL

**FROSTY:Me** · 10th November 2009, 15:59

hey folks just a heads up for those that don't know.
Theres a fake E mail circulating stating you have a parcel that couldn't be delivered by DHL.
The e mail asks you to open the atached packing slip and present it to a DHL office. This is a fraud of course with a nasty virus inside it.

Dear customer!

The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.

You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly.

The shipping label is attached to this e-mail.
Please print this label to get this package at our post office.

Thank you for attention.
DHL Express Services.

Cheers, Frosty

Anyone who's dealt with DHL will know it's fake cos DHL would never be proactive enough to send an e-mail. They'd just leave it setting in their warehouse until you rang looking for it.

That's nothing, my African has US$20,000,000.

I can't think why he has offered it to me however what could possibly go wrong?

Thanks for that, Frosty! Another advantage of being a member of KB...

And Ive got first dibs on the 20mil by the way. In fact I'm getting one lot of 20 million, two lots of 500k and one of 250k, so when that arrives, I'm outta here!!!

Unless it's concert tickets. Then they'll just steal them.

Yeah, there are similar emails purporting to be from UPS, FedEx and US Postal Service. Just like all the ones from banks you don't bank with and viagra offers, penis enlargement and Nigerian or Chinese people offering to put millions of $$ in your bank account.
WTF drives these fuckwits that do this....are there really enough stupid people in the world that believe this shit?
