Businesses and individuals alike are being warned about a new scam that could jeopardize your operations and financial security. Scammers are currently sending out deceptive messages claiming that due to an “incomplete house address,” your parcel cannot be delivered. The message includes a link urging you to update your address information to ensure successful delivery.
How the Scam Works
In these fraudulent messages, recipients are informed that their address is incomplete or incorrect. They are then prompted to click on a link to update their address details. This link leads to a phishing site designed to capture sensitive personal or business information. Once the scammers have access to this information, they can use it to empty your bank accounts, steal your identity, or compromise your business operations.
How to Protect Yourself
- Verify the Source: Always double-check the sender’s email address or phone number. If you’re unsure, contact the delivery service or company directly through their official channels.
- Avoid Clicking Links: Refrain from clicking on any links in unsolicited messages. Instead, visit the official website of the delivery service and log in to check the status of your deliveries.
- Update Security: Ensure your business accounts have strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication where possible.
- Educate Your Team: Inform your employees about these types of scams and encourage them to exercise caution with unexpected messages and requests for personal information.
Stay vigilant and protect your business from falling victim to these malicious schemes.
