Malicious emails sent in German on behalf of the Post

German users are receiving a lot of such spams these days: It is about a package which allegedly it has its transport costs not paid. (2 €). The user is invited to visit a page where he can be pay this. Verfolgen Sie Ihr Paket: DE3428632-19 STATUS: BEARBEITUNG – VERTEILERZENTRUM BERLIN – Transportkosten VON 2,00 € wurden nicht bezahlt LIEFERUNG ERFOLGT NACH BEZAHLUNG LIEFERKOSTEN BEZAHLEN Useless to say, this is not the usual way to deal with packages, so those which sent the spam have no idea how things work. The link goes to a page delivering a malicious payload.   This is how the email looks like:   Observe the blue marked items.
