100% scam. http://us.dhlglobalmail.com/press-release-details.aspx?PR=44835789-6176-4966-8cc2-285efbbca12c
That is a scammer trying to get you to download a trojan, virus or keylogger so he can steal all your data on your computer and hijack you email account, steal your bank account and maybe even your identity
UPS, FedEx and DHL never, EVER send such emails. They do NOT know your email address, if one of those shipping companies has a package for you, they will deliver it and if there is something wrong with the address, they will CALL you.,
Ignore and delete that email and any others demanding such information.
If you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of needing your password, great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.
Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.
Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even partial sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money, email address or identity to a scammer.
If you google "fake UPS email scam", "email DHL virus scam", "fraud trojan FedEx email" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts of victims and near victims of this type of scam.
Again, there is NO package and NO email from any shipping company. You have a scammer's email there with a nasty virus, trojan or keylogger attached. Delete the email immediately, run every virus protection program you have and maybe take your computer to a repair facility and have it checked for spyware.
