FedEx has received reports that there has been an increase in fraudulent

emails claiming to come from FedEx. These messages typically have a

vague subject referencing a FedEx tracking, invoice or item number and

an attached zip file with 'FEDEXInvoice' in the file name that may

contain a computer virus. If you receive a message matching this

description do not open the attachment. Delete the email immediately.

A new variant of fraudulent emails is circulating including the subject

line "Shipping Information." This fraudulent email wants customers to

open a Microsoft(r) Word document for more information or click on a

"Print Receipt" link.

If you receive this message do not open the email or click on the

attachment or link. Please forward suspected fraudulent FedEx emails to

abuse@fedex.com.

What is important to remember is that FedEx does not send unsolicited

emails to customers requesting information regarding packages, invoices,

account numbers, passwords or personal information.
