The delivery driver was working at that time, why wasn’t the receptionist!?
edit: Thanks to everyone who’s pointed out that this is a scam - and who gave advice/or worried about me. I was half asleep this morning, it didn’t click (though I did notice that the url wasn’t evri - I’m too used to vendors passing me over to third party websites). It doesn’t help that the evri helpline is robots only. No bank details lost though.
Better question, what kind of a scam company charges for redelivery?
They don’t this is phishing.
Fucking fed ex has pulled this shit.
Check out the URL - is this not a phishing scam?
This is 100% a phishing scam
OP needs to cancel their card immediately if they put their details in
Also going to throw in, it’s definitely a dodgy URL. Evri is a common target for this kind of scam and they count on exactly what’s happened here. The small %age of people that were actually expecting a parcel by that carrier.
Op if this was text please forward it to 7726 to report the scam.
Please freeze your card, many banks you can do this directly through your banking app.
Please notify your bank so they can help more.
Remember, if something looks off it probably is. As you said why would everi be out delivering in the middle of the night? £1.04 + VAT is £1.25 also why would they be displaying an ex-vat price? Also it’s everi their preference would be to put it in a safe place (such the wheelie bin you put out for emptying) than redeliver.
Thanks for the heads up. Yep most definitely a scam. Woke up bleary eyed today! No details put into the website, but link followed - maybe need to close that email down :/
Bro it’s a scam email
Don’t forget to tip!
Yeah in what world do you need to pay to get your parcel delivered ???
Honestly, its not the cost of delivery. Its that the delivery driver is working at 1:43 am, and that a charge is levied for not being available at this time. Even if this were delivered to a home address - ringing the doorbell at 2am is considered a dick move.
I doubt they actually attempted the delivery at this time. I’ve had multiple evri drivers mark that they attempted delivery and no one was in when I have been there waiting for them to knock.
Trash company, trash employees.
It looks like the email might be a scam! Be careful! Definitely don’t recommend putting your info in there.
Here’s a source, and it pretty accurately describes the email you’re seeing:
Excerpt:
The email prompts you to click on a link to resolve the delivery problem, but the link actually directs to a sophisticated fake Evri website. On this phishing site, victims are asked to enter personal details like name, address, phone number, and even credit card information to pay a “re-delivery fee.”
I mean the sender already did, right?
aboringdistopia is just like US citizens complaining about their country imo
Not the US, and not complaining about the country. I agree with @theskyisfalling the driver probably just posted that they had tried to meet quotas or whatever, but the business mechanism that tries to trick you into paying a small amount is a feature not a bug. Whatever way you look at it, it’s a dark pattern that skims money. [edit:spelling is hard]
I suspect you’ve missed the point that it’s highly likely to be a scam and refused to pay, so task failed successfully I guess?
