I've seen ones like it using FedEx, UPS or DHL as the sender. 
Also, I've been getting emails saying they have info about a package that has been sent/lost or undeliverable. They all use some official looking name from either UPS, DHL or FedEx. Of course the email contains a virus to slam dunk your computer.
Fortunately, my email provider quarantines the email and just sends a note saying where it came from.
Gotta be careful out there in the electronic age
