    I thought it could have been something I ordered was obviously a bit suspicious due to the use of “ur” instead of your so I looked it up and the tracking number I received is the same as the one on this page.

    Dear Cxxxx

    We hope you're having a good week so far? TGIF!

    We checked our message log and realized you have not gotten your Black Friday gift yet.

    We feel responsible for you not getting what you are entitled to and to apologize we have decided to switch your customer ref# (Larson31159) over to a premium gift.

    If you want to receive it still this week, please configure everything here.

    https://amazon.ca// xxxxxxxxxxxx@ xxxxxxx

    Remember that, for your safety, this email will be valid only for 2 hours (after opening). If after that time you have not completed the process, we will begin to return your package.

    Kind regards,

    Said there was a 1.50 customs fee, UPS did not recognise the tracking number!

  • December 4, 2020 at 8:42 AM by an anonymous user from: Stone Mountain, Georgia, United States

    The full URL is hxxps://trackingau.deliveryonline.site/parceluk which takes you straight to the page with that exact ref number: UPS016448296GB and a button to enter your details.

    Good branding effort but total scam.

  • December 3, 2020 at 11:19 AM by an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

    Happened to me today and I nearly fell for it as am waiting on a small package from the USA. If you get this message DO NOT FOLLOW THE LINK AMD DELETE THE MESSAGE. It will lead to to an apparent official UPS site, ask you to enter your contact details and then ask you to enter bank details! Do NOT enter anything and use this site to report it!

  • December 3, 2020 at 9:56 AM by an anonymous user from: E1, London, England, United Kingdom

    I also got this message and, because I actually am waiting for a parcel from overseas, I stupidly put my card details in. I was then suspicious when I saw the 1.00 pending on my account from a website that sells pcs, phones, etc. I've only just read the comments on here. As someone else mentions, it's actually a 'prize draw' for an iPhone that they enter you into every 14 days at a cost of 17.99 each time. I've had to cancel my card. Can't believe I was so stupid.
