got this text is it real?? "DHL: Your parcel is on hold due to an unpaid customs fee of 1.99 EUR. Pay within 24 hours or it will be returned to the sender: https://dhl.com-redelivery.eu/p/8KX2Q"
No, this is a scam (smishing/text phishing). Do NOT click the link or pay anything.
Here's why:
Fake URL: The link
dhl.com-redelivery.euis NOT a legitimate DHL website. DHL's real domain isdhl.com(or country-specific ones likedhl.de,dhl.fr, etc.). The scammer embedded "dhl.com" into the fake domain name to make it look real at a glance — a classic phishing trick.Urgency pressure: "Pay within 24 hours or it will be returned" is a textbook social engineering tactic designed to make you panic and act without thinking.
Small amount (1.99 EUR): Scammers deliberately use small amounts so you're less likely to question it and more likely to just pay.
Well-known scam pattern: This is a widely reported SMS phishing (smishing) campaign that impersonates delivery companies like DHL, UPS, and others across Europe. The fake site is designed to steal your credit card details and personal information.
What to do:
- Do not click the link.
- Do not enter any personal or payment information.
- Delete the message.
- If you're genuinely expecting a parcel, check its status directly on the official DHL website (dhl.com) or through their official app.
- You can report the scam to your local authorities or your phone carrier.
If you already clicked the link and entered any details, contact your bank immediately and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity.
The catch: The link starts with dhl.com, but the site is com-redelivery.eu.
