Real scam examples

Missed parcel text

‘DPD: We missed you. Reschedule here:’ link goes to a fake DPD page asking for £1.99 ‘redelivery fee’ to harvest your card.

Customs fee scam

‘A £2.99 fee is required to release your parcel.’ DPD never asks for fees by SMS for standard parcels.

Fake tracking link

Random-looking URL pretending to be DPD tracking — leads to malware or a phishing form.
