Australia and a neighbour received a communication, purportedly from Australia Post.
It states “A courier haven’t delivered item… A mailman have not deliver a package tou your place for the reason: receiver was absent”… “Use your package info and go to the post office to collect your package”
More broken English and a warning that a fee of $2.40 a day would accrue if the package wasn’t picked up.
Even though Australia Post do have some problems issuing a notice in such faulty language is not one of them
Now, if this notice was in the neighbours letter box I could understand that some thieves could watch the place and break in when he went to the post office. However, it came by email.
Was there an attachment? I’ve received a few like that purporting to be from UPS. There was a dodgy attachment I was supposed to open to get the information about the “package.”
I guess they could be hoping that people reply, giving them a hook to demand payment of the “fee.” And only the most gullible people would respond to something written so badly.
Thanks. I can’t see how people could be so gullible these days given the number of scams around- that is aside fron the Post even knowing your email address.
The link to the picture might be a tracker to verify a person read the e-mail. This may just be collection data on people for future business or scams.
After applying recently for a passport via the PO and having to give my email addie, I now get REGULAR correspondence from Her Majesty’s Postal Service.
The vague reference to “the post office” should be enough tipoff. Which one? A genuine message, regardless of the fact that they wouldn’t send such an email in the first place, would give an address.
