3 things to look out for:
1.service.team@fedex.com via arcsolar.com >> 
Simple Google will tell you that arcsolar is in no way affiliated to FedEx , rather it is a compromised domain trying to send me virus
2. FedEx_Invoice_Copy_N712-41.zip >>
Why would anyone send invoice in form of .zip file instead of .doc or .pdf formats, which are industry standards.
If you open this file - your email or your computer will be corrupted as zip file contains malicious exe file.
3. Do you really think that some has your right email id but wrong shipping address with FedEx? What are likelihood of that. Don't get greedy or curious, just delete the email
