All: I was approved to attend this year's WWRUG for the first time ever, and I'm even planning to present! I submitted my registration at the end of May, just before the rates went up the first time.
I just received this "Package Undeliverable" email notification that kinda looks like spam about a package that allegedly couldn't be delivered to me. I don't recognize the company (freightinternationalservices.com), and the wording is really vague the way spam tends to be. But the message is professionally formatted HTML, and the only thing that occurs to me that points to possible legitimacy would be if the folks from WWRUG normally send some kind of materials to conference attendees and/or conference presenters. I know that one of the addresses associated with WWRUG is in Canada, so I'm wondering if maybe they used a Canadian shipping company that we don't have here in Albuquerque. I tried Googling freightinternationalservices.com but couldn't find it. There's a Get and Print Receipt button that I'm not about to click unless I can determine that the message is legitimate. (Brain in gear before mouse in motion, and all that. ;] ) The button points to a site called oops.nagts.org, and I couldn't find that site or www.nagts.org, either, so at this point I very strongly suspect this message to be a phishing attempt. If anyone could let me know whether packages get shipped to WWRUG attendees and/or presenters, I'd be grateful for the info.
