Watch out for this email · impersonating Fastway Couriers SARS Customs

The trick it’s trying

A recent South African courier-customs phishing warning describes emails claiming a parcel is on hold because customs fees are unpaid, with a 'Track Shipment' button leading to an unrelated address. The message uses courier branding, a tracking number and urgency.

Email claims customs clearance or fees are needed for a held parcel and urges the recipient to click a tracking/payment button; the link goes to a fraudulent site rather than the courier's official domain.
