I'm in the USA. I have been receiving emails, supposedly from FedEx,
saying that there is a problem with a shipment to me and asking me to
open the attached shipping label, which is a compressed file. My ISP
marks these as spam, but sends them to me, which is consistent with what
I have asked them to do. I suspect this is malware, because I am not
expecting any shipments, and the shipment number they put in the header
draws nothing when I go to the FedEx site to trace the shipment.
In the past, I have discarded these, or sent them to my ISP who probably
discards them. But the frequency is increasing and I am thinking that
there must be some law enforcement agency that can deal with these
knaves. Our city police have no such office, and apparently are not
equipped to deal with this.
Does any one know of a place these can be sent that would be interested
in investigating and prosecuting?
This is Spam/Phishing and no much you can do on your end, other than
tell SM that it is Spam. This a quote from FedEx site:
http://www.fedex.com/gb/about/fraudulent_use.html
"FedEx does not request, via unsolicited mail, e-mail or sms messages,
payment or personal information in return for goods in transit or in
FedEx custody. If you have received a fraudulent e-mail or sms message
that claims to be from FedEx, you can report it by forwarding it to
[email protected]."
