An email that should come from customs, actually contains a virus, according to the security experts of Avira. The spam emails have the subject “Parcel requires declaration”.
Text of the email:
Good day, We have received a parcel for you, sent from France on July 9. Please fill out the customs declaration attached to this message and send it to us by mail or fax. The address and the fax number are at the bottom of the declaration form.
Kind regards,Lucinda Addison
