To Mr. Oas - Hilarious.

It looks like we'll have to start training our families and users to pay 
attention to where a link points, and remind them to never click on 
anything that ends in .exe, .vb*, and all that good stuff too.  This one 
is particularly authentic looking since they copied the actual UPS 
copyright content, and the format is pretty similar to the real thing.  
Except I've never seen an invoice link, and delivery confirmations 
always include your address.

I might as well get ready to be on call with the relatives for this 
one.  Anyone know which virus or exploit they're using so I can have the 
cleanup instructions handy?
