Security News > 2020 > March > Watch out! Scummy scammers target home deliveries

If you're sitting at home right now, sheltering from the coronavirus pandemic - and there's a good chance you are - then you are probably either thinking about a home delivery, or waiting for one.

Highlighted above is the fact that the certificate was created on 2020-03-24, the very same day that this scam campaign went out.

Anyway, your delivery is held up by a mere $3 shortfall, which is the sort of amount you'd probably consider paying anyway and arguing about later, if the alternative is to lose your delivery slot.

Above, we put in non-existent credit card information to see what would happen next - some phishing scams of this sort redirect you to a genuine page on the courier company's or the card company's real site in order to throw you off the scent - and we were presented with a bogus "Card declined" message.

If you're a regular Naked Security reader, this screenshot might ring a bell, and that's because it is not merely similar to but in fact exactly the same as the bogus "Payment back-end" that we wrote up in a similar scam at the very start of 2020.
