- The message requests a delivery fee, redelivery payment, customs charge, or account login.
- The wording pressures you to act immediately to avoid losing the package.
What to do step by step:
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the courier’s official website or app by typing the address yourself.
- Check tracking only with a tracking number from your order confirmation or merchant account.
- Never enter card details, passwords, or identity information from a delivery-message link.
- If you paid or entered data, contact your bank, change affected passwords, and report the message to the impersonated courier.
