Action Fraud has seen a surge in reports relating to fake emails and texts purporting to be from DPD.

The messages claim that DPD was “unable

to deliver your parcel today” and provide instructio­ns on how the recipient can arrange another delivery.

The links in the emails and texts lead to fake websites that are designed to steal money, as well as personal and financial informatio­n.

Victims of this scam have reported losing over £242,000 since June.
