A delivery message asks for a small fee by link

You are expecting a parcel from your daughter abroad. This message arrives.

QuickDrop Text message

QuickDrop NG: Your parcel could not be delivered due to an unpaid customs fee of ₦2,450. Pay now to avoid return: quickdrop-ng.parcel-pay.info

12:47 pm

What would you do?

Tap the link and pay. It’s only ₦2,450

Not safe. The fake page takes your card details, and then much more than ₦2,450.

Tap the link just to have a look

Not safe. Fake pages are made to look real, so it’s easy to start typing your details. It is safer not to open it.

Don’t tap it. Ask your daughter which company is delivering, and check with them yourself

Safe choice. Correct. Your daughter will know if a fee is real, and the real company can tell you how to pay safely.
