Questions people ask

Is 0121 275 9222 really DPD?

Yes. It's DPD's Customer Service number in the United Kingdom, listed on DPD's own UK contact page. But a caller showing this number may still be a scammer, because caller ID can be faked. Hang up and call it yourself.

A text says I owe DPD a redelivery fee. Is it real?

No. DPD's own scam page says it will never ask you to pay a redelivery fee through a link in an email, text or iMessage. Don't tap the link. Track the parcel in the DPD app or on DPD's website, typed yourself.

How can I tell a real DPD text?

DPD says a genuine text will usually appear from DPD UK, DPD Local, or DPDgroup UK. A message from an email address or a random number is a scam.

A DPD email asks me to download a label.

Don't open it. DPD warns that scam emails sometimes ask you to download a file to create or change a delivery label, and the file can infect your computer.

I entered my card details on a fake DPD site. What now?

Contact your bank now to freeze your card, on the number on the back of it. Change any passwords you entered. Then go to What to do now.
