Re: Seen A Scam? Warn us if you have!
Beware those who are expecting parcel deliveries, as most of us are at this time of year.
There is a DPD scam doing the rounds.
My friend got an email a few days ago, saying they couldn't deliver her parcel (twice) so she had to now pay for them to come back again.
Today, I also received an email saying they were DPD.
They said they had tried to deliver my parcel but I was out and there was no 'safe place' to leave it.
They then said they needed to check the address they had was accurate so would I give them my proper address and postcode to make sure they had it right.
All this was lies of course.
For a start I was in all morning, and I know beyond doubt a DPD driver didn't knock here.
Also I remembered them trying to catch my friend out, too.
I went on to DPD's website to ask them if they were aware criminals were using their name, and found this:
