Scams like these

[TheRealTMA]

another delivery scam ... but somewhat confused which language / country
Interesting the links for following up the package and the "unsubscribe" (why would this be an option for a legitimate delivery service ?) are the same.

Normal scam. Never unsubscribe from scams. Just confirms your identity.

Unsubscribing does nothing good, running the risk of installing malware or putting you into the next step of the scam … however, unfortunately, if they’ve sent you an email which didn’t bounce that’s enough of a confirmation - they know it’s a real address. It’s a case of more damned if you do, but still damned if you don’t.

Many email systems no longer bounce undeliverable mail in order to work against the assumptions of the early/mid-years of spam, so confirmation by lack-of-bounce is no longer a given, but might apply to large domains that still bounce (Gmail?).

No worries, I never try unsubscribe, although I was tempted on ones like below.
Does anyone else get these US Republican begging emails? I have been receiving in various forms for years. Clearly they got my address same way as other scammers.

I seem to be on some calling list. Got a couple of calls from "Telstra" last week regarding my compromised IP address. I'm with Optus but it is kinda fun keeping them on hold and on the call long enough to see how long before they hang up.

Are these TW packages delivered (well ment to be) by freight companies rather than post office?

I do not know. Aliexpress delivery for me is 95% good for me. but if it does not turn up in 10 days, lookout. they tend to combine purchases in one package, with an auspost bag around may grey bags. but when i check tracking - the ...tw ones are well - problems. Nothing to do with DHL.

Dear FREDxx_xx_xx_xx,

What Happened? Cleo is a vendor that provides a file transfer platform used by Hertz for limited purposes. On February 10, 2025, we confirmed that Hertz data was acquired by an unauthorized third party that we understand exploited zero- day vulnerabilities within Cleo’s platform in October 2024 and December 2024. Hertz immediately began analyzing the data to determine the scope of the event and to identify individuals whose personal information may have been impacted.

What Information Was Involved? We completed this data analysis on April 2, 2025 and concluded that the personal information involved in this event may include your name, contact information, date of birth, driver's license information, and payment card information.

What We Are Doing. Hertz takes the privacy and security of personal information seriously. To that end, Hertz has confirmed that Cleo took steps to investigate the event and address the identified vulnerabilities. Hertz also reported this event to law enforcement and is in the process of reporting the event to relevant regulators. Further, out of an abundance of caution, Hertz is providing you with two years of Equifax Assure at no cost to you. To activate and take advantage of your services, please see the additional information included with this notice.

What You Can Do.

For More Information. We understand that you may have questions about this event that are not addressed in this letter. If you have additional questions, please call +44 20 3807 8188, Monday through Friday, from 09:00 to 17:00 GMT.

Estero, Florida 33928
An activation code is supplied for use by "Equifax Assure"
Registration will require two of the following: driver licence, passport, or Medicare card
With a link that would be the funniest Equifax site URL I have ever seen
But it theoretically be legit. Even if I never rent with Hertz

Even admitting that I enjoy wandering (but not here?)
Fred

Thank you. Mr Blackduck uses Ali a lot! So far all good. It seems to all come by aust post - we are rural. Can't recall there have been TW ones though so will watch out.

If the parcels don't arrive in the set time they give us a credit of maybe a dollar. Being rural we don't go in town every day so sometimes they will sit at the post office. Then we find we get credit for late delivery!
