Australia Post is warning customers of an email which advises that a “courier company” was unable to deliver a parcel to their address. The email has a sender of no-reply@auspost.com.au.
A spokesman for Australia Post explained that the Scam Email requests the customer to print a label before they can collect it from the local post office. The customer is required to remit a payment first in order to be able to print the article label. The Spokesman added that Australia Post does not request customers to remit a payment for parcel collection.
The Spokesman commented that if you have received the email that you should delete it and that if you have fallen victim to the scam please call the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on 1300 795 995.
