Title: Missed delivery - warning!
Post by: Alsatian on November 27, 2013, 12:52:06 PM
Had 3 emails yesterday stating that I was out when a delivery was attempted on Monday and that I should respond asap to rearrange the delivery (there was also an attachment to the email).

Coincidentally - or not - I was expecting a delivery but not for the date specified. I deleted all the emails without further ado.

Can't remember the name of the company who sent the email, but just remember to be very careful when you receive an email asking for personal details from someone.

If in doubt - bin it!

PS - my expected parcel arrived safe and sound yesterday, it was sent via DPD and they were excellent, sent numerous text messages advising delivery status - option to have it delivered different day/to a neighbour (I chose this option as we were out that day) and they even sent me a text to advise that it had been delivered and to which neighbour! ;)

I got a load of them from DHL - but they were dodgy so deleted them

Probably worth scanning and posting on here (without your personal details showing) so people know what to look out for

Would do but already deleted 'em before I posted this thread.

I received the following in two of my in boxes this morning:

"Royal Mail Group Shipment Advisory
The following 1 piece(s) have been sent via Royal Mail on Mon, 28 Nov 2013 15:43:14 +0530, REF# 5646597645
SHIPMENT CONTENTS: Insurance Form
SHIPPER REFERENCE: PLEASE REFER TO ATTACHED FILE
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE FROM SHIPPER: PLEASE REFER TO ATTACHED FILE

The reply address is: noreply@royalmail.com

It's bogus.

Yep, that's identical to the 3 I received!
