The parcel service provider DHL warns of a wave of fraudulent short messages.
“There are currently SMS messages in circulation that request your address and ask you to update your data.”
However, you should under no circumstances click on the link in such a message. Because this SMS does not come from the parcel service provider itself, even if “DHL” or “DHL Paket” is specified as the sender.
“In some cases, these SMS messages even appear in the real message flows with DHL Parcel and therefore appear very authentic.”
DHL does not send such SMS
The parcel service provider states that customers are never asked to make payments or change addresses or other data via SMS.
These fake SMS are phishing. The requested data is tapped.
There are always deliveries that claim to come from a parcel service provider.
DPD, FedEx, UPS and Austrian Post are also often listed as senders. But there is also phishing behind it. The links in the SMS, but also emails, lead to fake websites that often copy the official website of the company in question. Data entered here will be accessed.
Tip
If you receive such a message and you actually happen to be expecting a package, you should not click on the link in the message. Instead, it is safer to go to the parcel service provider's website in your browser to see the delivery status of the shipment.
