A common technique for luring e-mail users into opening virus-launching attachments is to send
messages that would appear to be relevant or important to many of their potential recipients. One
way of accomplishing this feat is to make the virus-carrying messages appear to come from some

service.
Here is a fraudulent e-mail claiming to be from FedEx regarding a package that could not be

the mail, as they do not include attachments.
Fraudulent e-mail and legit e-mail that arrives in your inbox contain the fedex.com as the sender of
the mail.
