Did you lot get a text message with a shipment tracking code and a link to update your delivery preferences? Information technology's a scam. Acquire more.
We've learned of a phony "delivery failure notification" email making the rounds. It looks similar it'southward from the U.S. Postal Service — but information technology's not. The electronic mail says you missed a delivery. But, information technology says, if y'all print the attached class and accept information technology to your local mail service part, yous tin can choice upwards your package and avoid penalties. The message might also include a link for more details.
Here'south the truth: the email is bogus and there is no package. And if you download the attachment or click on a link, you lot're likely to stop up with a virus or malware on your device.
Con artists often use the names and logos of familiar organizations to get under your guard. So how practice you tell what'southward legit and what's a scam? Here are some ways to spot a bogus email:
- Information technology tells you to click on a link or download an attachment
- It urges yous to take firsthand activity
- Information technology asks you to "re-confirm" personal or financial information
Another sure sign an email is a scam? If you hover over the link in the email, it won't show the official website of the supposed sender — in this case, the U.S. Postal Service website.

It could be a scam. You could call the company that delivers packages. Enquire the company if there actually is an airport tax.
Yous tin enquire someone who knows about tax rules in the Philipines. Maybe in that location is a fee to go your package, simply maybe he is trying to accept your coin. If you lot think this is a scam, you can stop talking to him.

To find out whether you demand a DEA permit to society or receive certain chemicals or drugs, get to the DEA website. If you have a question about whether you can receive a certain product through the mail in the U.s., go to the website of the Usa Customs and Border Patrol.

I wouldn't worry. In that location isn't any package to be delivered. They will take your money for these fake fees and never send you lot anything. this happened to me. Thankfully I only paid a small-scale amount before they asked for more and and so I knew it was a scam.

This could exist a scam. If a stranger says he will send you a valuable package, and you must pay fees to get the package, information technology normally is a scam.
A criminal will brand promises similar this because he wants your money. Really, in that location is no valuable packet. Frequently, he will ask for more and more fees.

The electronic mail is not found online. The notices keep coming each twenty-four hours, they first past that I have a delivery, then it could not be delivered through lack of an address, and so that information technology has been sent dorsum. Sometimes they ask for a small fee. Then information technology all starts from the beginning once more. It is not malware as Norton lets it through, though it stops some other pop-ups.
