FRAUD AWARENESS


FRAUDULENT USE OF THE DHL BRAND

Attempts have been made to defraud Internet shoppers by the unauthorized use of
the DHL name and brand via email communications and graphics which appear, on
the surface, to have originated from DHL.

In most cases the communications concern the sale of consumer goods over the
Internet where payment may be requested before the goods are delivered.

Please be advised that DHL does not request payment in this manner. DHL only
collects money due for official DHL related shipping expenses.

This security notice does not affect the obligation of a consignee to pay
shipping, customs, VAT or similar charges, where these are properly payable at
the time of delivery.

DHL accepts no responsibility for any costs, charges or payments made which were
improperly incurred as a result of fraudulent activity.

 


WEBSITES

If you are in any doubt as to the integrity of a website that uses the DHL
brand, please always access DHL websites via our global website.

DHL FRAUD AWARENESS GUIDELINES

Thank you for joining our effort to combat online fraud. DHL goes to great
lengths to protect our customers from fraud. If you suspect having received
fraudulent emails, SMS or found a website or social media account that tries to
pass off as DHL, we encourage you to let us know at your earliest convenience,
so that we can quickly take actions to stop the fraud.

Please report all suspicious activity to our dedicated Anti-Abuse Mailbox at
phishing-dpdhl@dhl.com following the below instructions.


We thoroughly investigate every report of suspected fraud, but generally, will
not respond to personal inquiries. If you have questions regarding the status of
a shipment or an invoice, please direct those to our customer support.


   
 * Fraudulent Email
   
   Below are some indicators that can help you assess whether the received email
   is fraudulent.
   
    * Official DHL communication is always sent from @dhl.com, @dpdhl.com,
      @dhl.de, @dhl.fr or another country domain after @dhl.
      
    * We never use @gmail, @yahoo or other free email services to send emails.
    * We never link to a website other than our own starting with for example
      https://dhl.com/, https://dpdhl.com/, or a country/campaign website
   
   
   From a desktop computer: 
   
    * Drag & Drop the suspicious email into a new message and send it to
      phishing-dpdhl@dhl.com as attachment. To effectively shut down the
      fraudulent service, we need complete mail headers which are not included
      in a forwarded message.
   
   
   From a mobile device: 
   
    * Forward the message to us. If feasible, please always send the suspected
      email from a desktop as attachment including complete mail headers.
      
    * Report the message as spam within your mail app, so that your mail
      provider can take appropriate actions.

   
 * Fraudulent SMS
    * SMS Scams often include a shortened URL e.g. starting with https://bit.ly/
      to obfuscate the final destination of the link.
    * The sender number is not visible, instead you find a generic name such as
      “Delivery”.
    * The phone number starts with a a country prefix outside of an expected
      territory (e.g. +235).
   
   Send a screenshot of the suspicious SMS to phishing-dpdhl@dhl.com, include
   the suspicious phone number in the message.

   
 * Fraudulent Social Media Accounts Incl. Whatsapp
    * The account is lacking a sign of verification (e.g. there is no blue
      badge).
    * The account attempts to continue the communication over an encrypted
      channel such as Whatsapp or Telegram.
    * The account is only a couple of weeks old.
    * The account offers “free Visa”, “free flights” or to “double your
      investment”.
    * The account does not make use of an adequate profile picture (DP/DHL Logo)
      and background picture.
   
    1. Please report the social media account/post destination (URL) or phone
       number to phishing-dpdhl@dhl.com.
       
    2. If available, report the account/post directly to the social media
       channel as fraud.

   
 * Hacked DHL Accounts
   
   If you receive unexpected messages alerting you over changes to your account,
   such as address changes or password reset notifications that were not
   triggered by yourself, it is possible that hackers are trying to take over
   your account.
   
    1. Login to your account and change the password
    2. If you lost access, please report this incidence via customer support
