DHL Express Delivery (Scam / virus email)

Phishing refers to email that directs users to illicit web sites that mimic those of real companies, often banks or other financial institutions, that request users to enter personal and financial information under the pretext of protecting themselves from fraudulent use.

Typical messages may refer to attempted unauthorized access to your account, security audits, updates of account information, etc. NEVER click on any of these links, even if the message appears to come from a business you have an account with (unless there is personalized information in the email such as your account number, order number, balance due, etc., that refers to a specific transaction that you are aware of). Instead, go to the web site you would normally go to for the specified institution, whether you have it in a bookmark file or enter it by hand.

US-CERT is collecting phishing email messages and web site locations so that this website can help people avoid becoming victims of phishing scams.

You can report phishing to us by sending email to phishing-report@us-cert.gov
