This information was on InTouch the other day. Since our inventory arrives via UPS this is very good info to have. Because everyone who visits isn’t a consultant, I’m sharing it publicly because anyone who receives orders via UPS needs this information:

Attention Virus Warning

We have been notified that there is a fraudulent e-mail being sent that says it is coming from UPS and leads the recipient to believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered. The recipient is advised to open an attachment reportedly containing a waybill for the shipment to be picked up.

This e-mail attachment contains a virus. We recommend that you do not open the attachment, but delete the e-mail immediately.

UPS may send official notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments. If you receive a notification message that includes an attachment and are in doubt about its authenticity, please contact customerservice@ups.com.
