    UPS/FEDEX virus warning

    The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS/Fed Ex Service along with a packet number... It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached.. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.

    Snopes confirms that it is real.

    I know the way UPS/FedEx works, so I wouldn't fall for any of this spam crap. They also don't email you unless you instruct them to.

    Tonyota. That tri gauge pillar he had for sale back in may. I paid him 40.00 and never recieved anything. Paypal didnt do shit about it and he hasnt been on here since. You can find it in the old for sale threads if you really wanna dig it up, but I think that 40.00 is prettymuch gone forever.
