Post Office warns customers of email phishing campaign

The South African Post Office (Sapo) has warned customers of fraudulent emails requesting outstanding customs fees for parcels to be paid for online.

"Members of the public receive an email stating that a parcel addressed to them is being retained because customs fees on it are outstanding," Sapo said on Monday.

To fall for this scam you have to also believe SAPO knows how email works.

Ok, my bad. I received an SMS about entering my details for the courier company to confirm who I was.

I also got an SMS. Just ignored it, because I am not expecting any post.

I was expecting post and I still ignored it.

I think SAPO is not even aware of the SMS's going around as well.

You can tell it's fake because no one in their right mind would use the PO to send a parcel.

You should never expect any post when it comes to the PO.

They don't have landlines or internet, how will they even send these emails?
