Parcel Delivery Scams in the UK

Scammers impersonate Royal Mail, DPD, Evri or other delivery companies claiming a parcel is waiting and requesting a small customs or redelivery fee, to steal your card details.

How to protect yourself

Legitimate courier companies do not call asking for payment to release a parcel. If in doubt, contact the retailer directly to check your delivery status.
