▍Be aware! Overseas package scams are back
Recently, there has been an increase in scams impersonating logistics companies and overseas package deliveries. Remain vigilant.Common tactics used in overseas package scams include:
•Pretending to be a logistics company / customs official - Individuals pretending to be DHL, FedEx, UPS, the post office, or other operators, say your package has been held at customs and you need to pay “a customs clearance fee,” “tax,” or “data verification fee,” providing a “payment link” for you to transfer funds
•Fake package notification - You receive a text message that says “the package cannot be delivered” or “please update recipient information,” along with a website link. However, clicking the link could download a malicious App or lead to a phishing website that steals your credit card number and personal information
•Pretending to be customer services and asking you to make a bank transfer - Scammers pretending to be “seller customer service” or “online shopping platform customer service,” claim there is a problem with your account or a mistake with an order, asking you to make an ATM transfer or join a fake LINE customer service group to transfer money
Always remember
•Never click an unknown link or install an unknown App
•No official will ever contact you in private using LINE
•Check the tracking number of any package
•Be vigilant if anyone asks you to make a remittance or ATM cash transfer
