Is it possible that receiving someone else's courier by mistake is a scam?

"Express delivery is wrong, please send it back" is mostly a scam.

There are two main tricks for swindlers.

Deception one

Pretending to be the seller's customer service staff: the goods were sent wrong, so return them. Please send them back.

Products: digital products

Purpose: Cheat goods and then resell stolen goods.

Deception 2

Pretending to be a logistics person: because the receiving address is wrong, the goods are sent to the wrong address, so you need to pay the postage to receive the goods.

For products: any product with a value higher than the postage.

Objective: To defraud money and postage.

Case:

Police in many places posted relevant reminders on Weibo: criminals sent a message to all Want Want users saying: "The goods were sent by mistake and are now returned for repair. Please send them back for replacement. " Many netizens believe it and express the products they just bought to scammers. Network police remind: when encountering such information, don't trust the contact information provided by the other party, and take the initiative to contact the store for confirmation. Don't open links to websites from unknown sources to avoid being cheated.

The courier company said: the probability of sending the express mail incorrectly due to the courier's mistake is one in a million. If the receiving and dispatching office sends the wrong parts, it will notify the delivery office on the inspection platform, and the delivery office will contact the subordinate departments to intercept the express mail; If the express mail is not delivered normally, the sender should first fill out an application form for mail withdrawal in the mail room, and then the mail room should contact the delivery room to intercept the express mail. If the express mail has been delivered normally, the sender should contact the recipient directly to coordinate.

Coping method: once the receiver encounters such a call, he can temporarily refuse to answer the other party, and then he can do the following operations.

1. Contact the sender to confirm whether the express delivery is wrong.

2. Call the express national customer service center or the customer service center of the express branch in the region, and provide the express number/call number, which will be verified by the staff.
