DHL Shipment Notification Phishing Scam

Online users, beware of fake "DHL Shipment Notification" emails like the one below. The fake emails have links that go to fake DHL websites once they have clicked. If visitors to the fake website attempt to sign into the fake DHL website with their account credentials, they will be redirected to legitimate DHL website at www.dhl.com and their account credentials sent to the cybercriminals behind the scam.

    "My Dear Friend.

    This is to bring to your notice that, I have paid the re-activation

    fee and the delivery of your ATM Card. I paid it because the ATM-7221

    US$4.2MILLION dollar, has less three weeks to expire and when it

    expires, the money will divert and forfeited into Government purse

    (account).With that I decided to help you pay the money so that, the

    ATM will not expire, because I know when you get your ATM definitely

    you must pay me back my money and even help me out.

    Now I want you to contact DHL Express company with your Full Contact

    information’s so that they can deliver your Card to your designated

    address without any delay. Like I stated earlier, the delivery charges

    has been paid but I did not pay their official keeping fees since they

    refused. They refused and the reason is that they do not know when you

    are going to contact them and the demurrages might have being

    increase. They told me that their keeping fees are $105 per day and I

    deposited it yesterday. Below is their contact information,

    Company Name: DHL Express Shipping Company

    Email: ( dhlcompny@aol.com )

    Contact Person: Mr OlayemI Olusona.

    Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this

    mail to avoid adding of the security keeping fee of $105 dollar per

    day, please do contact them today to avoid increase of their keeping

    fees and let me know once you receive your Card. Finally, make sure

    that you reconfirm your mailing address and direct telephone number to

    them to avoid wrong delivery or any mistake also send them their

    security keeping fee of US$105 today to avoid increase of their

    keeping fees.

    I registered it as a wedding gift and they don't know it contents

    valuable ATM Master Card this is to avoid them delaying with the

    package. Don’t let them know that it contents valuable material.
