Just recently i've been bombarded by scam/fake e-mails from fedex telling me to print off e-mail & collect items from fedex after they failed to deliver, not quite sure what the scam is yet but i've deleted numerous e-mails, anybody else had same or similer, ive contacted fedex & they are aware of the scam/fake e-mails, a recorded message tells me to erase e-mail which i've done, should i be worried.

Whats the attachment, the email tells you to print off the e-mail, surely you can do that without opening anything.

No  to print it it's got to open it therefore the virus or whatever would attempt to install.
