I have not ordered anything and I was not expecting any parcels . Did not open the attached file and i think that was a smart thing to do. Please be carefull and do not open attachments in mails that look "strange" in any way.

Such simple advice, often not followed by many.

Like you did Inger, ask yourself:

Did I order something?
Was I expecting a delivery?
Would my bank ask for security information through email? or over the phone?
Is this email legitimate with such poor grammar?
Did I really win £500,000.00 and have to click a link or send money overseas to collect it?
Why is an organization giving me something for nothing?
Why does my ISP want me to confirm my login and password? Don't they know it already.

Simple questions to ask yourself, that are all leading to a scam.

If you had opened the attached file your computer would have been automatically infected. The shipping company spams are one of the most common methods for infecting computers.
