UPS is warning their customers of emails created to spoof actual UPS emails. I don't generally post virus warnings, but this is real and I can see how someone could be easily tricked by this.

We have become aware there is a fraudulent e-mail being sent that says it is coming from UPS and leads the reader to believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered. The reader 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.
