Aiyo! Scam Delivery Status Email

This is soooooo scary! I almost got scam! I am expecting a delivery but most probably not by DHL. Fortunately if not for my sixth sense, I would have been the next victim. The information stated below is what I have google and read.


"This is purely to let you know that if you receive a DHL email, saying there is a DHL delivery problem, from an email address that isn’t DHL, that has no DHL branding on it, and opens with Hello! rather than using your name, treat it immediately that it’s a scam email. If the email has a file attached that you have to unzip, it’s not just a scam, it is malicious, as it likely has a trojan attached. Do nothing else other than hit shift and delete and take it right out of your computer! This DHL scam email includes a zip file which the email urges me to open..."


This is what I have received!
