EVRI Scam, a warning!

I had an email from Royal Mail informing me that an attempt had been made to deliver a parcel at 7.30 am yesterday, with a link attached to retrieve it:
1) I am always up before then and no one attempted to deliver a parcel at that time
2) We always get a card put through the letterbox if a parcel cannot be delivered
3) We are not expecting any parcels

So I have deleted the email and not opened the link

We are also getting quite a few phone calls on our landline at roughly the same time every few days informing us that we have a problem with our Microsoft account. No we don’t!

I'm fed up with the calls about insurance on my white goods. I don't have any and don't want any, but they keep phoning (and changing the number so i can't block it!).

That domestic appliance insurance one is ‘doing my head in’ now. Usually, I don’t answer the landline, but I had to recently - then the call I was actually waiting for rang my mobile!
I had the Royal Mail text saying my parcel had been left at 5.26am!

And don’t start me about the technical department of Windows!

I regularly get texts from Royal Mail about undelivered parcels which I delete. I also get scam emails from what appears to be DHL but the logo is a actually BHL

I had a call yesterday to my mobile supposedly from O2 informing me that there was a problem with my account. As I am not with O2, I knew it was a scam. GN,s that are with O2, please be vigilant.

Had all the above don’t link onto them Delete!

And 'you bought your fridge/washing machine over ten years ago. - er, not so.

The latest begins with an overconfident man saying, 'this is a courtesy call ... ' I put the phone down. This, strangely has a local dialling code.

I've had a few calls on my mobile lately informing me that the Inland Revenue are after me for not paying my tax!

I don't answer my landline so it's really annoying when they get hold of my mobile number

I have been getting scams from UPS recently I report them as scams and delete or block them.

I get emails saying someone has logged into my Facebook account that I neither have or want. Hope they find it interesting.

We get them from various parcel companies. My husband had the 'dad I've lost my phone one' last week.

5.26 a.m.? That's late compared to when someone supposedly tried to deliver to me last week - at about 1.30 a.m., apparently!

My husband has just had the 'you've been in contact with someone who's tested + for covid' one. He did a test just to be on the safe side which was -.
I have my phone switched to silence for unknown numbers- if they dont leave a voicemail I just block and delete. Its a pain though as sometimes if I'm expecting a call, say from Ocado delivery driver who's number wont be recognised of course, I need to switch the silencer off, but remember to switch it back on afterwards!
Shame there isn't a way to block unknown numbers re texts- but I guess they'd find a way round it.

The reason I started the OP is because, although I have had many of these, this is the first time I have had one from Hermes/Evri! .

I set txt to silent overnight on my mobile, then deal with any overnight messages the next day and we don’t have a landline handset.

I have had a few supposedly from the bank fraud department, saying that 2 large amounts have been taken from my account to pay to Amazon. Strangely enough, each call specifies the same amounts, £300 and £1100. All I had to do was log onto my bank account to check.

We’ve had the ‘you’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for covid’ and ‘a large amount of money has just been debited from your account’.
The latest tells me my Apple Pay has been suspended. Well, whoopy-doo, I don’t use it.
They’re despicable, aren’t they?

I got a text from Evri this morning as well telling me the same thing...Just deleted and blocked the number..

I had a call from somebody from Vodafone which sounded very fishy especially when they wanted to verify my details. I got shirty with the person on the end of the line and eventually put the phone down. It was only after I had a message to say that somebody from Vodafone had tried to get in touch about the fault on our line wanting to know if it was fixed, that I realised it was a genuine call. Oops!

Thanks for the heads up Marydoll I have a lot of Evri deliveries ?

I have had the " this is your bank security, £300 and £1100 have been taken from your account " they don't even have the common sense to differ the amounts.

We have had them asking for us to pay a small amount to receive a parcel which is being kept for us because they were unable to deliver it. Of course they want your bank details. Scumbags. I suppose for every hundred messages they might get lucky and thieve off someone.

I am very familiar with the Inland Revenue and Post Office scams!
