It is not addressed to you directly, DHL does not deliver to the post office, and will never ask you to print out a mailing label to take with you to the DHL Office.<\/p>\n By the way, if you did go to the attachment, it will take you to a website page where you fill in your personal details, bank account number and e-mail address (supposedly for the mailing label) and this is where you will be caught by the scammers.<\/p>\n DHL does not operate this way. When you receive a DHL shipment, the courier arrives at your door with your\u00a0details (including your\u00a0\u00a0phone number) and you have to produce your\u00a0\u00a0ID document for identification. You was able to trace the parcel and DHL will phone to inform you\u00a0when the courier would be due to deliver.<\/p>\n [ARTICLE BY DAVID WILES]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Phishing-<\/em>kriminele sal nooit ophou probeer om mense om die bos te probeer lei om hul persoonlike details, wagwoorde en bankinligting in die hande te kry\u00a0nie.

Dis nie direk aan jou gestuur nie, DHL lewer nie by die poskantoor af nie en sal jou ook nooit vra om `n etiket te druk en na `n DHL-kantoor te neem nie.<\/p>\n Indien jy wel op die\u00a0aanhangsel\u00a0gekliek het, sou dit jou neem na `n webwerf waar jy jou persoonlike inligting, bankrekeningnommer en e-posadres moes invul (klaarblyklik alles vir die etiket). Dis natuurlik hier waar hulle jou vang.\u00a0<\/p>\n Dis nie hoe DHL werk nie. Jy ontvang `n DHL-pakkie by jou deur met jou details (insluitende jou telefoonnommer) en jy wys jou ID-dokument as bewys. Jy kan ook die roete van die pakkie op hul webwerf naspeur en hulle sal jou telefonies\u00a0laat weet wanneer aflewering sal geskied.\u00a0<\/p>\n [ARTIKEL DEUR DAVID WILES]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Phishing scammers and fraudsters will never give up trying to trick people into giving their personal details, passwords and bank account details.
