Delivery Scam
Gay would like to share this warning with you and we know that she is not the only one who has received this or something similar, not always from DPD. This time of year we really need to be alert to these scams
I received an email this morning from DPD saying they had tried to deliver a parcel twice (at the time given for today we were indoors and nobody knocked ), and the other two of further instructions which were trying to get me to reveal my bank details by making a payment. The website looks very convincing. I phoned DVD customer services and they said they had had numerous calls, it is a scam and DVD never sends emails.
She has shared the very convincing documentation with us – have a look – might you have fallen for it?
