Default Hermes scam +44 7425 232436

My wife’s mobile just had a txt purporting to be from Hermes saying “sorry we missed you - please click on the link.

Obviously a scam because it does not “follow on” from the genuine Hermes txts we have received - and not least that we have no outstanding deliveries.

Obviously a scam.

I got this last week. My suspicion was raised by the dot co address, but this could have been a abbreviated address.

But checking even closer, it is not www.royalmail it is actually www.royal maii. !!! Capital I among the lower case makes it look legit.

There is an epidemic of fraud now of all kinds. The internet of things has become like the wild west. All the scam attempts rely on FOMO or FOMAM to goad us into clicking a link without thinking too much about it. I've come close a couple of times. Be suspicious and be careful and good luck to us all.
