      Attention DPD Customers,

      We’re issuing an important warning about a new phishing scam targeting DPD customers. This scam involves text messages that appear to be from DPD, directing recipients to a counterfeit website (dpd-track.net).

      DPD Text Scam Explained:
      The scam works by sending a text message claiming to be from DPD, asking the recipient to click on a link to track a parcel. This link leads to a fake website, mimicking DPD’s official site, complete with the company logo. However, this site is a phishing attempt designed to steal your login credentials and personal information. If you receive such a text, do not click on the link. Instead, delete the message immediately.

      The Rise of Scam Texts:
      There has been a notable increase in scam texts, often promising financial benefits or prizes. These messages contain links that aim to steal personal information. If you receive a suspicious text, do not click any links or respond. Delete the message, block the sender, and report the scam to local authorities or the Federal Trade Commission.

      Staying Safe from the DPD Text Scam:
      To protect yourself from these scams, follow these steps:
      – Only share personal information with trusted sources.
      – Keep your antivirus and anti-malware software updated.
      – Be cautious of emails, texts, or messages claiming to be from DPD or other companies. Verify their authenticity by contacting the company directly if something seems suspicious.

      Recognizing Scam Texts:
      Be aware of these red flags:
      – Sender’s name is unfamiliar or unrecognized.
      – Poor language or grammatical errors in the text.
      – Requests for personal information or money – legitimate organizations will not ask for these via text.

      If in doubt, contact the organization to confirm the legitimacy of the message.

      Victim of the Scam?
      If you suspect you’ve fallen victim to this scam, contact your bank or credit card provider immediately. You can also seek free consultation with our affiliated Cryptocurrency Forensic Specialists at CNC Intelligence.
