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?
No one is going to prosecute because it's a hacked server hosting the
file. You can often contact the hosting company of the hacked server
where the malware resides...so long as it's not in Ukraine, Russia,
China, Romania, Bulgaria or any other eastern European host. If it is,
just delete the spam message and move on.
You could try forwarding the message to [email protected].

Or copy and paste the complete (all headers included) e-mail into
the form at spamcop. If you've never used the site, start here:
https://www.spamcop.net/
You could also send a copy of the message with all headers to
[email protected].
