ALERT: Fed Ex Phishing E-mail

I received this email, allegedly from Federal Express. I know it is a fake because Fed Ex does not have the email address it was sent to. Additionally, there were several people who were BCC.

Most importantly, there is a .ZIP file attachment that you SHOULD NOT CLICK as it most likely contains a virus. Delete this email if you get it. Pass this blogpost on to others you care about please.
