Rich Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yep. it's a scam, delete the email. I've been recieving spam all week from "DHL" claiming to be trying to deliver something, I know for a fact I haven't ordered anything, so I delete the emails, especially as there's a probably virused attachment with every email.

TaxiBaz Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 If you reply to this type of email, you're only letting the sender know they've reached a real person. Don't reply. Just delete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be right as DHL aren't called DHL any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 It's a very old scam. All they want are the details of your bank account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iuchi_Zien Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Plain Talkers always posting these type of threads I think its a warning;) I used to have a list of websites which, if you gave them your e-mail address swamped you with thousands of spam mails. I would then sign the address you answer to up to these sites and imagine the look on their face when they checked their e-mail account for muppets who replied to their scam.

Iuchi_Zien Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 :huh: All these scams ask you to respond to an e-mail address, that e-mail address is usually a free-mail address with limited space and once filled with spam anybody stupid enough to respond gets bounced, do try to keep up!
