Although some people believe “no one would fall for one of those scams” – sadly, that’s not the case and old people especially are prone to believing texts they receive are genuine.
TechBuzz Ireland reports that there’s a new DHL scam text going around which leads you to a website imitating DHL to give a small payment of sorts.
The text scam looks for a small fee to get your item delivered. However, TechBuzz reports that DHL will never ask you for this information and if there is any issues with a package, they will call you directly where they have a system in place anyway for dealing with transactions.
It’s understood that the scam site is only trying to get steal your information which looks legit but it’s nothing of the sort.
People are asked to share this information with their friends – particularly their parents or elderly neighbours.
