Possible (probable) Scam - Unpaid import duties

Nevyn — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 15:45:45 GMT

I think someone is trying to use text messages in a scam. I've tried to contact Customer Support but the new service is dreadful...

Text message looks to come from DHL Parcel and contains a tracking number an instructions to pay import duty using the site import-duty-dhl dot com. The domain does exist but there is no record of the parcel on DHLs official site.

What also made me suspicious is the fact I received 7 messages in just under two hours.

I think it is a scam - hoping no one gets caught out by this.

Regards,
Mark

@Nevyn : Common as muck, they are. Just ignore them.
