How does the Hermes Redelivery Scam text work?
The aim of this scam is to trick people into thinking that there has been an attempt by Hermes to make a delivery at their address. They then send a text suggesting that Hermes can make a redelivery as long as you login and pay a fee. Note that the website provided is fees-hermes(.)com. This is not the genuine Hermes website, however it has been designed by the scammers to look like the real thing.
There is a field on the scam fees-hermes website where visitors are invited to input their bank details in order to pay a fee so their Hermes parcel can be redelivered. In fact anyone who does so will just be handing their bank details to scammers on a plate.
