Has anyone had one of these? 🤔 what on Earth would a bank be sending me 😅 Seems to have come from actual DHL as had other delivery notifications from them before and it’s come through the same number 🤔

Is it asking you to click a link or confirm address details or pay a delivery charge? If so it’s a scam.

Scam, they'll ask you to pay a release fee next. (Why say 'your bank' when they don't appear to know which bank sent it, is the massive clue)

It's a scam.

I wouldn't be clicking on any links

LittleBumblebee3 · 24/05/2023 13:43

Definitely haven’t clicked on any links 😊 just wasn’t sure about it being a scam as it’s come through on a message thread of other delivery notifications that actually have been from DHL 🤔

Definitely a scam. I've also received these from FedEx and the post office.
I ignore all of them.

I've had similar messages just to let me know a parcel was on the way! As PP said, no link clicking but see if anything is delivered on that date. It's normally a scam if it asks for a delivery fee, but that link might just be asking for safe place / providing tracking tbh. Not worth a click if you're not expecting anything though!

They can spoof the telephone number. This is a fairly good explanation.

@WhiteFire Thanks 😊 that’s interesting!

@bibbityboppityboo Definitely won’t be clicking anything 😅 but if anyone needs me on Tuesday, I’ll be sitting at home waiting just incase it’s a case of cash 😂🤞🏼🤣
