QUEZON CITY (PIA) -- The Philippine Postal Corporation warns the public anew against the proliferation of ‘package scams.’ Scammers send deceptive emails or text messages about an attempted or intercepted package delivery to trick individuals into giving away their money, personal details, or data.
It also offers an attractive deal or false information and tricks individuals into clicking a link or opening an attachment.
To avoid being a victim, be always vigilant and follow these tips:
- Always verify the sender and/ or email addresses;
- Do not entertain messages from unknown senders;
- Do not click any links or open any attachments;
- Do not give personal or financial information; and
- Report immediately.
Don’t fall for these scams and transact business directly with Philippine Postal Corporation at www.phlpost.gov.ph and the Official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PHLPost .
