Another bogus E Mail
For a few weeks I've been getting regular Emails from a firm calling itself DHL Express, saying they have tried to deliver a parcel but had the wrong address, then asking me to click on the link and down load the invoice and collect the parcel from their depot. considering that I'm not missing any parcel or waiting for anything its deleted immediately. Just shows what lengths these con men will go to, pity they don't get a proper job

Re: Another bogus E Mail
I too have been getting the same e-mails. I just send a reply, in capital letters, i did not send nor am i waiting to receive a parcel. But i do not, for security reasons open the link.

Re: Another bogus E Mail
I checked the e-mail address of the person to whom it was sent, it is not even me.

Re: Another bogus E Mail
Why do people reply to these emails? They only confirm that it is a working email address. Chances are the return address is fake anyway so they are just creating more spam email.
