At the moment, a large number of emails are being sent in the name of the company “DPD”.
But be careful! These emails were not sent by “DPD”! Scammers are hiding behind this nasty scam! Therefore, STAY AWAY from this email and delete it immediately!
This is this email
What happens when you click?
If you follow the link, you will be redirected to a website where there is supposedly a “DPD order” for EUR 0.00. If you were to order this out of sheer GREED, you would then have to give up various PERSONAL DATA. As you can see from this screenshot of the website.
DPD itself has already warned about such emails on its website:
General phishing warning:
- Phishing emails generally try to appear as if they come from the relevant company . Fraudsters use these to try to get personal data, preferably bank credit cards or other payment data.
- The real “art” of these emails is the story with which the recipient is supposed to trust the email and open the inserted link. Expression, grammar and spelling, as well as plausibility and individuality play a very important role here. Especially in the recent past, there have been an increasing number of emails that shined with individuality: they could address the recipient with the correct name and also provide actual address and personal data.
- However, you can generally note: Banks, payment and purchase portals never ask you to log in to the account using a built-in link! In addition, although a generic salutation is always an indication of phishing, an existing correct salutation is not proof of the authenticity of an email .
- Never log in via a link that is sent by email, but always type the relevant page by hand into the address bar of your browser and log in there. If there are actually announcements of the relevant service, they will be displayed there. In addition, if possible, you should also refrain from carrying out banking transactions via public/third-party WiFi networks , as you never know exactly whether (and in an emergency from whom) these networks are being used be logged.
- Never enter real data in the form fields! Under certain circumstances, the data can even while typing without having to confirm with “continue”.
