Warning: DPD couriers - spam email

Post by El Cid »

I just received what appeared to be a genuine email from DPD, asking me to reschedule a delivery. As I was expecting a delivery, I clicked on the link and landed and what looked like the genuine DPD web site. When I saw that there was a charge to reschedule delivery, I became suspicious. So after putting gobbledygook in the section asking for my personal details, I was taken to a page which, you've guessed it, asked for my credit card details. The email I received turned out to have been sent from Russia.

My husband and I both received this spam email a couple of days ago. It looked very credible however I was not expecting a package. Asking for a charge to re deliver was very suspicious. Unfortunately some people will be conned by it.

Now you mention it, I may have had something similar - I reported it as spam and didn't open it, so can't tell you what it actually said inside.
