The phishing emails are getting increasingly convincing - Doh!

I've been waiting for a delivery of bed parts so when I spotted an email from 'DHL' in my spam folder I did wonder (plus you never know if it's a comp WEM either!). Somehow, I wasn't convinced...:cool:

Hello.
DHL informs you that the sending of your command (order) is available.

The sending will be available 24 or 48 Happinesses according to your product, from the date of provision.
Beyond, he (it) will have returned to the sender.

You can find the follow-up of this sending to all moments by clicking here.

We thank you for having chosen DHL.

Your Customer service DHL.

I really could do with "24 or 48 Happinesses"!! :j

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Ooh, it did give me a good laugh this morning! :D

    LOL, I have to admit, that I find it hilarious when they try to sound like they writing from a large company, like DHL, and make obvious mistakes. Like "Dear please update your informations".

    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!
