I got a email with a picture which is here. The company was UPS. First of all the email was suspicious to me,so I didn’t clicked on anything what they provided.I am not saying I am smart @rse,but I opened UPS app and entered the ID number which was provided and of course I got msg in red “Sorry but there is error with number what you provided” or something like that.By knowing how “hard”scammers are working to scam peoples for the money,I am triple checking everything.Even the phone numbers,I am doing on Google search
I received the BHL email scam but didn’t realise until after I had opened it. I didn’t reveal my bank account details or address though. Do I still have to contact my bank?
I get recorded phone messages. It comes up as an aus mobile number. Says my parcel was unsuccessfully delivered, then says something in I think Japanese language. I answered the phone, another time I had a missed call and I rang it back. I never clicked on anything but should I change my card anyways?
I just received a version of the same scam email today. Alert: the header is from a legitimate domain! Since the sender address was not spoofed, I almost fell for it. BUT it contained fake tracking ID number: 5841223352000 and fake package delivery Notification ID#34632900-371? which matches the fake ID# shown in your article graphic. The version I received has some variations such as a different shipping company name - but most of it is the same as yours.
I had one of the “delivery“ scam messages two or three weeks ago, I ignored it. I now have one, today (17 August), enticing me to check the progress of a parcel they are holding for delivery for me. Is that meant to lower my guard again?
I thought it was suspicious and I am glad to hear the truth fortunately I never did it
I thought it was suspicious thanks for this to confirm my suspicions that it is a malicious email
I only clicked on the opening link. I gave no details. Am I safe?
Hi, I have a question about this. I fell for the scam and clicked on the link. I put my bank card info in and confirmed, but the payment didn’t go through because I needed to also confirm it through my bank. Is it possible that they still can use my bank card info? And should I cancel it? Thanks in advance.
Ask your bank, they will be able to better advise you.
Unfortunately I have fallen for it, but I realised it right away so I called the bank, they have already set a direct debit on my account... The lady I spoken to said, they could have taken larger amount in the future!Please cancel you card
