I’ve just had one of these seems to be doing the rounds, annoyingly I’m waiting for a delivery from eBay, without thinking I clicked on the link however I did not put any details in.

Should I be concerned, is it worth changing all my passwords?

Yep, I got one as well. One of the most convincing scams I have ever seen.

Ebay coukd well have been the source, as I've only just started using them again.

Better than most isn't it. Except they got my name wrong.

If it's an iPhone I wouldn't be too concerned.

Not to say that iPhones are immune to malware but if the link took you to somewhere asking for credentials I'd assume they wanted your credentials.

I'm generalising but I wouldn't be overly concerned about malware on an iPhone using Safari.

I was expecting a parcel this morning and got this email purporting to be from "DPD" saying that as there was no answer they were unable to deliver and the item would be returned to the sender unless I rescheduled, at a cost of £3. It nearly had me fooled.

What a sneaky scam; with so many online deliveries these days it must be a nice little earner. mad

I had it last week on a poorly formatted email.
It said my package had been returned to their main warehouse in Westminster.

Westminster; what a convenient and inexpensive area to situate a transit warehouse!

Had this one a few weeks back. I was expecting a parcel collection so clicked through on my phone, then noticed the site URL it took me to was in Russia. Closed immediately. Since then I've had a big increase in dodgy bitcoin scam emails - serves me right for verifying my email address is active frown
