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 almost certainly a scam (a “smishing” / phishing text). Do not click the link and do not pay anything.
Here are the clear warning signs:
| Red flag | Why it’s suspicious |
|---|---|
| Fake website address | The link is dhl.com-redelivery.eu, not dhl.com. Scammers often stick “dhl.com” in front of a different domain to trick you. Real DHL sites use domains like dhl.com, dhl.de, dhl.co.uk, etc. |
| Urgency and threats | “Pay within 24 hours or it will be returned” is a classic pressure tactic to make you act without thinking. |
| Unexpected customs fee via SMS | DHL and customs authorities do not typically demand payment by text message with a random link. If you’re expecting a parcel, you’d usually get an official email, letter, or notification through the carrier’s app/tracking page. |
| Small, specific amount | 1.99 EUR is a common scam amount — low enough to seem minor, but high enough to steal your card details. |
What to do
- Do not click the link. It could lead to a fake payment page designed to steal your credit card number, passwords, or personal data.
- Do not reply or call any number in the text.
- Check independently. If you think you might have a real DHL shipment, go to the official DHL website yourself (type the address manually) and enter your tracking number there — or contact DHL customer service through their official app or website.
- Delete the message.
If you already clicked or entered details
- Contact your bank or card issuer immediately to block or monitor the card.
- Change any passwords you might have entered on that site.
- Watch your accounts for unusual transactions.
- Report the message to your mobile carrier and/or local cybercrime authorities.
If you’re unsure about a specific delivery, safest bet is to ignore the text and contact DHL directly through their official channels.
The catch: The link starts with dhl.com, but the site is com-redelivery.eu.
