Spam Box Concerns

[Flying Shogi]

Ok, so the in the past weeks, I've been getting some spam emails saying something like "your order will be at your house in X business days." I never ordered anything and I never use Fedex so could it be that someone is using my email address? I've suspected that but I haven't found solid evidence of that since nothing seems out of the ordinary. Although, a female that I know through one the programs I'm in keep sending me some spam emails as well. When I tried to open it up at school, it's blocked for "malicious software/content." Could these 2 things be related? Is there anything I can do?

I'd ignore them. You can always call FedEx and ask them about the orders, if you're that worried.

I don't see any contact information on that email.

1. You can try this number: 1.800.463.3339

2. You can also screenshot one of the e-mails (with your info blanked out, of course). I deal with FedEx on a regular basis, so I know what that e-mail is supposed to look like.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Here's one of the emails:

It's fake. Ignore it. The real one looks nothing like that.

Thanks for the help.

Spam e-mail shouldn't be a concern unless it happens to be from a site you just registered to that you suggested you check the spam for confirmation e-mail just in case it went there and not in your inbox.

I'm not sure if it's mass hysteria or not but from what I hear, its supposed to contain malware of some kind. So I'd just ignore them and not open them at all (since as far as I know, FedEX or any other parcel service for that matter, does not put ETAs in emails like that).
