What is the Hermes Text Message Scam?
The scam begins with an unsolicited text message suggesting you have a parcel that needs to be redelivered. The message includes a link to a scam website that will invite potential victims to input their bank details to pay a fee for redelivery of a parcel. The parcel does not exist. Anyone who does input their bank details will almost certainly become a victim of fraud.
In this case the message from 447398721631 includes a link to a website called Hermes Delivery Update. This is a scam website.
The message in full is as follows:
Hermes: Sorry we missed you. Our driver will be redelivering Tommrrow. Please reschedule and cover the £1.45 service fee here: https://hermes-delivery-update(.)com
