![]() ![]() They could be trying to steal information from you (perhaps with a fake looking website), or they might want to install malicious software on your computer, or whatever. The link changes with each email, and it’s safe to say you should not click on it. Google comes up with nothing else for them. Beyond that, they don’t exist as far as I can tell. But their website is just a WordPress page with a default Hello World post. Bounaser Tech claim to be a mobile development company. But if the arrow remains, or changes to a pointing hand, and you see a web address pop-up, then it’s a clickable link.Īt the time of writing, the image address is. If the arrow changes to a typing bar, then it’s regular text, as you should be able to drag to highlight it. So while it’s always important to just hover your mouse over a link to check its address it’s also worth hovering your mouse over the text in general as well, when it comes to suspicious emails. So now, instead of just clicking on the link to visit their dodgy website, clicking anywhere in the email will take you there. Interestingly, however, the text of the latest email was contained within an image, And the entire image is clickable. The text of the other emails was identical, apart from the date, which was updated each time, and the link, which I’ll get to in a moment. ![]() Redelivery will cost £3.95.” it might feel a bit better, though even that’s not perfect. If it said something like “Please confirm your parcel. Why the word “from”? Could the price be more than that? It feels like a lot is missing here. “Please confirm your parcel from £3.95” – There’s no full stop at the end of this strange sentence.“Courier was unable to deliver the parcel to you.” – This really should start with the word “The”.And thirdly, there should be a full stop rather than a comma after the date, as the next bit is really a distinct sentence of its own.It might be auto-generated by the computer on the day it was sent out, but even so, formatting the date isn’t difficult. Secondly, nobody writes a date like that, with the month in capitals and a 0 before the single figure number. ![]() After the word “at” you would expect a location, like a sorting office. Firstly, my parcel would arrive “on” a date, not “at” a date.“Your parcel has arrived at MAY 08th,”:.There’s lots wrong with this short message. Your parcel has arrived at MAY 08th, Courier was unable to deliver the parcel to you. And then the actual text is grammatically awful. They all start with the Royal Mail logo, in an attempt to make it look official. This is pretty much the same for all 4 emails. Plus of course, both notification numbers are different. Surely that would say “Notification No.” (where “No.” is short for “Number”), rather than Just “Notification N”? And notice how the formatting differs, with a capital “N” and a colon for the first email, and a lowercase “n” for the second. Apart from the fact that they all look suspect on their own, the fact that they differ with each message proves they’re not from an official source.įor 2 emails, the subject line was simply Confirm your parcel. – complete with the full stop at the end of it, which in itself is rather unusual for a subject line. This has also varied a bit with each email. Royal Mail – RoyalMail Notification – RoyalMailService – royalmailUK – Line.They haven’t made any effort to include the company name in the address. ![]() And when you look at the address behind the name, they are randomly generated nonsense. The sender’s name appears slightly differently each time. Checking the From address shows it’s not from Royal Mail, hovering over the link they want you to click shows that it’s not related to Royal mail, and the text of the email is very badly worded. ![]()
