DPD Scam email

Thanks FannyCornforth. I've been getting these almost every day for the past week. I suspected it was a scam so deleted them, but was a bit worried in case it wasn't.
So now I know.

Hi henetha
I've just had a closer look and it's definitely bogus.
You can't click on the drop down menu.
The further information given is very vague, eg it just says 'warehouse' without a location.
Some graphics are blurred.

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

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

We have both had these recently. Definitely a scam

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 had one supposedly from the TSB!

Sorry but who are DPD ?

DPD are couriers like Hermes, UPS etc, felice

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.
