Back to blogDelivery scams usually look like a small payment request. The link opens a fake tracking page that asks for a card "verification."
Spot the fake tracking pages
- Domains with extra words or misspellings.
- Payment pages that look generic or unbranded.
- The parcel "fee" changes after you click continue.
When in doubt, open the courier website directly and track from there.
Quick protection checklist
- Do not pay via SMS links.
- Report the number to help others.
- Freeze your card if you entered details.
