Key rule: verify through an official route you opened yourself, not the link, number, app, or payment details supplied by the suspicious message.

The message often feels minor

Scammers keep the ask small: a missed parcel, a customs fee, a redelivery charge, or an address confirmation. That is deliberate. Small requests feel less risky.

Check the destination domain

Even if the wording references Evri, the linked domain is the real clue. If it is not the official domain or app you normally use, stop there.

Do not rely on branding

Colours, logos, and courier language can all be copied. The safe route is to open the courier app or type the address manually.

Card data collection is the objective

Many delivery scams are designed to capture payment card details under the cover of a small fee. That can lead to later fraud unrelated to the parcel itself.

If you provided information

Contact your card issuer if relevant, change affected passwords, and review your device if you installed anything.

Reduce future risk

Use official parcel apps, disable impulsive click behaviour, and keep tracking checks inside the platform you already trust.

Frequently asked questions

Can a real parcel problem also exist?

Yes, but you should confirm it through the official app or website, not the message link.

Is a small fee request safer than a large one?

No. Small requests are often used precisely because they feel harmless.

Should I save the message?

Yes. Keeping evidence can help with reporting and dispute processes.
