5. Uh, yeah, thats a trojan/virus for sure.

Why would they send you a notice about a missed delivery, 3 months ago, in a .zip file. Red flags and sirens.......

Delete it and call DHL. (unless you are not using windoze) n/t

6. delete delete delete no questions asked. Unsolicited zips, scripts or exe's are trouble.

7. I *never* open stuff like that. If you truly have a lost shipment, contact DHL

through a secure means (i.e., look them up on your own) and ask if they have any new information about the lost package.

8. If you suspect a missed delivery, call dhl directly or go

to their webpage.

10. My ISP caught about 10 of those for me in the past couple months

they send me an email that says it's suspected spam virus. The ones I've gotten imply that my shipment was a nice sony product. hmmm, maybe I forgot I ordered that big screen teevee?

Of course, they send a link in case I want to be stubborn enough to open it myself.
