A zip file is attached and of course I have not opened it. Note that the English is bad and not even American English. I have entered the item # on a FedEx site (not via any link) and it's not registered. I reckon it's a clever scam to get you to open the zip attachment.
Has anyone else had such an email?

I had the exact same email robin yesterday and as you didn't open it as looked a bit suss! :happy2:

That's exactly what I'd have done.

Yes sorry guys it's malware whatever you do don't open the zip file. This has been knocking around for a year or so now - just google *fedex malware* I think the cure can be found online too in case anyone gets affected.
