Coincedence or scam.........

On the 4th of april I had a packaged dipatched from the UK order number #112460. Yesterday I received an email, address was to my mcmedia email account stating shipment number 2633 had been returned to the the FedEx office, "the reason incorrect deliver address, please print out invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office." The atttachment is an exe not a pdf or doc file. I will not normally run anthing sent to me un announced. Every other case something like this has occured one gets either a pdf or a doc file. My strong suspicion is this is a scam and the timing is just a coincidence..........a develish coincedence. Would it be worthwhile to contact the suppliers of my package. I have recieved other items in the past no problems. Lindsay

I'm not sure how this pertains to Linux... suggest taking it to luv-talk.

I am not on luv-talk so I cannot see replies. I __DO__NOT___ wish to recieve luv-talk if Jason or the commitee wishes to force me on to said list then I am sorry the luv lists can walk over that cliff over there............. Why one has to be so restricted when wishing to discuss important topics such as security is beyond "this little black duck". Sigh.............. Looks as though my time on the luv lists is final going to end as this is the second episode. Lindsay

I can only agree with Jason, who was suggesting yu take to luv-talk. It clearly states on the LUV website at http://luv.asn.au/mailinglists.htmlthe following uner Rules and Guidelines: "5. *luv-main* is for LUV- or Linux-related posts The *luv-main* mailing list is for discussion of LUV- or Linux-related topics. Some example relevant topics are: questions about Linux, announcements of general-interest Linux news, and discussions about LUV presentations. When asking questions, it is advisable to first read the relevant Linux documentation or howto documents. LUV helps those who help themselves. Dissenting views are welcome, but advocacy discussions are better suited to the luv-talk list." As your OP was niether about linux nor LUV he is correct. Everyone else plays by those rules, why shouldn't you?

Perhaps you might have more luck asking your question on this forum - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffacxfA7G4&ob=av2e - I'm sure they'd be delighted to hear about your parcel issues! James

Oops sorry, further to my query I regularly get invoices as attachments these have always been around 40 to 50 kbyte PDF's, the attachment in this case as over 500 kbytes. The supplier that sent my item is based in the Midlands in the UK and in the past has sent things by post, I believe Fedex is and american concern. Lindsay
