How Does it Work?
The text message is created by scammers who aim to steal account credentials, personal and financial information. When people visit the website to ‘reschedule the so called delivery they’ll be made to provide their credit card information for the £1.45 service fee.
This is where the scam comes in. When you provide your credit card information, these scammers will delete every dime you have in your bank account. This is because they’re not the legit Hermes delivery company, and they don’t have any parcel for you.
So far these scammers have used the following websites –
- parcel-redelivery-fee.com
- https://hermes-reshipping.com
- Hermes-parcel-fee.com
- https://hermes.check-online-reschedule.com
How do you know it is a scam? If you try to use random postcodes, you will be redirected to the same page with missed delivery so definitely it is a scam.
If you have submitted financial information on the fake website, immediately contact your bank for help.
