DPD Scam email

I’ve had the DPD scam email, too, but this week I’ve been dealing with the real life DPD and it’s not been a much better experience! ? I needed to return a faulty item I’d ordered online and it was to go back via DPD. I had an absolute blizzard of emails from them, some of which contradicted previous ones so I didn’t know whether I was coming or going. Eventually a driver turned up on the door unexpected so the item has left the house but whether/when I shall get a replacement or refund, I do not know.

Got theDPD email yesterday re a parcel that was expected be delivered by Hermes and in fact came today,I ‘phoned the company supplying the goods they never use DPD. Ignore the message , delete it straight away. It eventually asks for bank details to deliver the non existent parcel.

Thanks Marydoll, the online stuff I get usually comes from the local Postal service.

We had one a few minutes ago supposedly from halifax but [email protected]. Crafty buggers. Told us a payment had been made to Wendy Smith. We're not even with halifax.

DPD are couriers like Hermes, UPS etc, felice

Sorry but who are DPD ?

Just had one supposedly from the TSB!

I have had the DPD scam email too. I expect a lot of people are taken in, especially this time of year with ordering Xmas presents online etc.

I am also really tired of the Amazon phonecalls....I get about 3 a week, usually fairly early when I am still in bed!

Just bumping this for more views, as it appears that the scam is very prolific.

Yes a scam. We weren’t waiting fir anything but it makes you think you may have forgotten something,
I got a phone call this morning about amazon prime asking fir payment. We rarely use amazon but I was taken in til dh said it was yet another scam.
It’s a worry though and many will be taken in. How do these people live with themselves.

FannyCornforth; I received another fake DPD one as well. The name wasn't mine and apparently the item was not delivered on 20/0/20! Totally bonkers.

I've just received another, different fake DPD email.
This one refers to 'Alice Hartnell' (not my name). Very odd

Yep, I received this one yesterday. Deleted. NEVER, EVER respond to these e-mails, on a different tab access the official website. There is actually a warning about this scam on the DPD website.

I received the email from them this evening ( funny time!) and an earlier one a week ago. I have been told by others to look at the email address of the sender and this is certainly a weird one as has already been said.

Same here Grandma70s
I actually tried to reply to DPD regarding the email because I knew that they hadn't attempted delivery.
It was only while I was gathering my thoughts that I realised that it was a scam.
DPD always send an email allowing you to track a parcel prior to its delivery - so bear this is mind.
Marydolls suggestion to download the DPD ap was a good one.

I had a scam email from DPD earlier last week. Following morning I have one claiming to be from the DVLA stating that my personal information held on record was incorrect and asking me to correct molete the attached form and submit a payment to ensure my details were correct and legal.

The DVLA never send out emails to my knowledge. I have taken screen shots of the bogus email and sent it to DVLA. The alarming thing is, the email looked so genuine.

You do have to be careful. I was nearly taken in by the DPD scam, when I read it in the very early morning. I thought I was always sceptical, but this one almost got me.

Ive had a log of similar phone calls purporting to be ftom Amazon (recorded voice) saying someone has spent £1000 on my card. I must press 1 if it was me or 2 if it wasn’t.
I hung up then checked with amazon. They confirmed it was a scam.

I had a DPD scam email the other day. It said 'We tried to deliver your parcel at 9.47am today. Please click on the link below to rearrange delivery'.

I was expecting a parcel that day but from Royal Mail. If it had been scheduled with DPD, I might so easily have clicked the link.

Yesterday I had one, purporting to come from McAfee, telling me that my protection had run out. It hasn’t.
A text this morning told me that they had been unable to take my Direct Debit for my EE account. I don’t have an EE account.

I’ve had this also, it’s definitely a scam. When I clicked on the sender’s address it’s just a random mix of letters. I also separately went to DPD’s website and put in the tracking number and it didn’t recognise it.

I receive one or two scams a week allegedly from Dpd. The scammers are very active at the moment.

We have both had these recently. Definitely a scam

Hopefully if you have the DPD app on your phone, you should be able to verify using the app, without compromising yourself.

Yes, you're right. And I noticed that the date was written differently I think. Thank you so much FannyCornforth.
