Action Fraud has seen a surge in reports relating to fake emails and texts purporting to be from DPD.
| The messages claim that DPD was “unable to deliver your parcel today” and provide instructions on how the recipient can arrange another delivery. The links in the emails and texts lead to fake websites that are designed to steal money, as well as personal and financial information.
