“This is a post notification.

The company could not deliver your package to your address.
The package was returned to DHL office.
Information about your package is attached to the letter.

I got this message on Nov 13th 2010: “Track your parcel S.NR78754″‏ followed by this text in the body….

This is a post notification

Thank you for using our services.
DHL Customer.

A zip file was also attached but I didn’t open it. Googled “DHL SCAM” and it led me here. Besides deleting it, who should be notified?

Here is how the one I received today was worded:

Your package has been returned to the DHL office.
The reason of the return is – Incorrect delivery address of the package

Attached to the letter mailing label contains the details of the package delivery.
You have to print mailing label, and come in the SDF office in order to receive the packages.

Thank you for attention.
DHL Customer.

(I particulary like the ending here…”Thank you for attention. DHL Customer.” – Great use of the English language!)

SCAM DHL mailing label: I got the same DHL cover up with very poor writing skills at that. What gave it away automatically for me is that I first read it through my blackberry. In my blackberry I could see something that I could not see on my laptop. Below the fake message about the package is a long religious story about some “Raman” and the story is written in a very light yellow color. I’m sure they meant for that to be completely invisible, but it could clearly be seen in the smartphone email application. Several other middle-eastern names are also a part of the same story….WEIRD and WATCH OUT!

Here is one I received today with a ZIP file attached……it’s going into the trash bucket with out opening the zip. Note how professional this message seems….lol, Like not using my name, rather sending it to client with a lower case “c”lient. How about a package delivery via DHL but “arrived at the post office…lol, yet go to the nearest DHL office, yeah right———Beware !!!!

Dear client

Your parcel has arrived at the post office on October 15
Our Driver was unable to deliver the parcel to your address.
To receive a parcel you must go to the nearest DHL office and show your mailing label.
You need to print mailing label, and show it in DHL office to receive the parcel.

Thank you for your attention.
