Beware of delivery charge scams

Beware of delivery charge scams

Have you had an email or text about delivery charges or additional postage payments? Beware: this could be a scam. The message will state that there is an outstanding delivery charge, an additional postage payment or a missed delivery reschedule charge at a small fee. There will be a link to click on where you are directed to pay the fee, thereby giving the criminals your bank details.

Stay safe:

Have you ordered something recently? Keep track of receipts / confirmation emails for online purchases

Do not click on the link within the message. Go to the retailers actual website and check on the status of your delivery

If a message is asking for money or personal or financial information in exchange for a package it is likely to be fraud

Fraudsters can spoof email addresses, so don’t assume the link given is to a genuine website
