Scam Delivery Notices

[westwoody]

Some of these have company logos, some are simple text messages.
All are scams.
DHL/FedEx/UPS/Canada Post all use similar software - addresses is embedded in the bar code on your parcel. If a company has your phone or email they will be able to deliver a package. All of theses scams use information from victims to steal identities. Do not respond! Delete immediately!

These are getting more frequent. I had posted something similar a few months ago where a gal pal of mine got notices very realistic looking from 'DHL'.

Our company is getting multiples of these every week from multiple couriers, plus the fake notices from suppliers telling us their banking arrangements have changed. Also some of our blue chip customers. Whomever is doing this, is spending time to create very real looking letterhead, going so far as to find out who key persons are in the various companies.

Obviously these fuckers are getting traction - it's a numbers game I guess.

If you have proper protection in your device (you do wear protection right!) hover your mouse over the fucker's link to see what is underneath. No, don't click it. It will never be from the purported sender. Or as westwoody, says just delete it.

We should all create voodoo dolls with these fuckers names on them and periodically stick glass shards in their tiny little balls.

I get them very often and just delete them.
I know what I have ordered online and know which carrier I use.

I normally delete as soon as they arrive. I'm expecting something from the US and almost clicked on one of these phishing texts yesterday.

I was reading that the newer scams automatically unload once the text is opened. No need to click on a link now.

I get this shit just about every day, for some reason more voice calls than texts.

The one recent time I actually got a couriered package that I was expecting, the fuckers never even called, and I don't think actually tried to deliver it.

Good advice: NEVER click on the link you are sent, it will fuck you up with malware. Never call any number they give you or press a number they suggest during a call.

If it pretends to be from a legit company / organization, and you want to ask if it is real, contact them separately after looking up the legitimate contact # yourself.

These scams are the most prevalent ones I see as well these days. They are spamming the shit out of the internet these days and they keep using different email addresses so they stupid spam filters are not catching nearly enough of them.

Good to know ... thanks.

And the robo calls use rotating or random number generators to place the call so you can't even block the fuckers numbers.
Latest this past week are calls from 011-80-xxxx... at 530 in the fucking morning, to my voip business line which auto forwards to my cell and my fitbit vibrates. Just enough to wake me up. I unplug the voip phone now, seems to stop that shit.
But of course the 615am calls from rotating numbers with the Chinese whatever the fuck they are saying, is coming to my cell regularly.
Makes the strong case to completely un plug ...
