There is a scram currently going around that comes in your email purporting to be from Fed Ex stating that they couldn't deliver a package and to click on the download. It's a scam, don't click.

Be aware that Fed Ex doesn't send email (unless you are specifically signed up for it), they leave a tag on the door with the tracking #.

I clicked on the download, because I was expecting something from Fed ex (but not this soon). I got an error message that stated my downloads had exceed my IP allotment(?).

Now I've got to go through all my accounts and see if any damage was done.

The Fed Ex people in my town said this is nothing new, happens every year about this time. Word.

I got one from paypal once that was kinda scary.
I called them immediately they said it was a scam.

Look at the email addresses and domain names, they are almost always a dead give away.
