I had a text yesterday:
URGENT : DX-DELIVERY is holding your parcel. Please visit www.dx-delivery.co.uk and enter tracking no 47835380174

As it's the season for receiving unexpected deliveries I followed the link. It's an absolutely spot on replica of the DX site. Everything very plausible and as it's a heavy parcel from overseas, with the label partly missing it seems quite reasonable to pay the £50 excess freight and import charges.

Hang on a minute!

Googling (or Binging) DX you get a link to their real site. What's at the top of the page? A warning that scammers have set up a false site and saying DON'T PAY THE £50.

It's a very good scam. I almost felt like sending them a 50p donation for their efforts.
