Scamming - Fraud
Online users, beware of fake "DHL Shipment Notification" emails like the one below. The fake emails have links that go to fake DHL websites once they have clicked. If visitors to the fake website attempt to sign into the fake DHL website with their account credentials, they will be redirected to legitimate DHL website at www.dhl.com and their account credentials sent to the cybercriminals behind the scam.
Once the cybercriminals receive the stolen credentials, they will gain illegal access to their potential victims' accounts, hijack the accounts and use them fraudulently.

Like I stated earlier, the delivery chargeshas been paid but I did not pay their official keeping fees since theyrefused.
