NZ post Spam/Scam


Dear valued Customer,

You have a parcel shipment which was scheduled to be delivered today. Please come with your merchant invoice and a government issued ID card or any valid form of identification for pickup.

You can download and print your merchant invoice and tracking here for collection.

New Zealand Post.

The source of this e-mail notice is New Zealand Post
If you inspect the link that is normally in the above e-mail (replaced with google.co.nz above) you can see it's redirecting you to somewhere that is not NZpost to download something that is likely to be nasty:
http://redirect1.amenabd.com/Shipping-Invoice-03032013.exe

There is no reason for a shipping invoice to be stored as an executable (.exe) file.
This is likely to be malware or some form of virus.

Under the guidleines provided by the g-mail team, this qualifies as phishing.
