Well, I just nearly got fooled by a scam: watch out for this one, gang. I got this text, and because I'm expecting a delivery (aren't we all in these days of online shopping?) I tapped through when I should have looked more closely at the URL
That sent me to a very good facsimile of a DPD page, complete with tracking number, and a convincing journey through rebooking a delivery
which brought me to this form. Apparently I had a quid to pay in unpaid postal charges
I was only saved because I am bloody-minded and check every pre-ticked box: what it's actually doing is signing you up for £43.99 of recurring charges.
I like to think I'm pretty savvy about scams, but this is a sneaky one. It bounced me into doing something - in this case, clicking through while swearing about an apparently buggered-up delivery - and it was only after that that I went back and checked the URL.
