Authorities say if you click on the start button your computer could be impacted by hackers who gain information when you respond to what's called a fishing email.
It's called fishing...because the scammers are hoping you'll bite by simply clicking on the email.

Another popular scam email could also impact your wallet.

That's the case in the phishing scam that's showing up in email boxes in Yakima in the form of an email that supposedly is sent from United Parcel Service. Like other scams that try and lure people through an urgent message the scam email says "our records indicate that a shipment addressed to you may have been fraudulently signed for" it goes on to say "in order to recover your shipment, we must ask you to review the following fraud report here." The scammers are hoping you'll click on the link so they can infect your computer with malware that will steal valuable information.
If you get the UPS fraud email especially when you aren't expecting anything from the company delete it. You can also report the email to fraud@ups.com.
