We have had a lot of people with similar emails telling them that it has been left at their local Post Office. The Post office have nothing to Do with anyone but RM and Parcel farce. Yet for some reason they never believe us!

You download a "consignment note" containing a Trojan virus, and they empty your bank account.

One of my clients got this recently and it was a Trojan that installed some Internet security program. After which every program that was open just brought up "this program is infected download our program to remove" con job.
He didn't normally fall this kind of scam but within the email the parcel supposed to have been sent by the name of one of his suppliers.
