Crap! May have been caught by a new email scam!!!!

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

I've been awaiting a couple of packages being shipped from overseas so when I got a DHL Express notification, I opened it and clicked on the link. It had a tracking number and everything looked legit. Now I think it was a virus-delivery scam because having talked to both DHL & Loomis, they never sent me an email notification about any expected delivery.

The b@st@rds might have gotten me with this one.

Looks like the best thing to do is to grab the tracking number and type in the URL of the respective company and DO NOT click on a link. Or call the company to confirm the Email. I hope they do get shut down soon, but somehow I doubt it.

Hope you did not get into serious trouble
Had 2-3 of those daily for couple weeks this spring, they look very legit and are annoyingly persistent

I get them quite often myself, I just block the domain names on them to avoid anymore from coming. They are definitely a PITA!

Sorry to hear Anthony.
We had something like that in the summer and it was ups. We knew nothing was ordered so reported the fraud to ups. They thanked us.

what do you guy's use for protection ? I have been using Avira Free Antivirus for 4 years now and it keeps us pretty clean.

Looks like my Malware software was able to isolate & quarantine the Trojans that got into my computer.

Just another scam for BCA members to look out for.

The email looks totally legit, but after talking to DHL then Loomis then DHL again, the 2nd DHL rep finally tells me that they never send out email notifications (something the first guy never mentioned). That's when the lightbulb went off and I realized it was a viral email.

I've been waiting for 2 shipments and they were expected today or tomorrow, which is why I fell for it.
