I received a suspicious text message or email, allegedly from bpost. What should I do?
FAQResidential
You may receive an email or text message that appears to be from bpost. It might look real, but it was not sent by us. These emails or texts are fraudulent messages, also known as phishing, sent by scammers. The following tips will help you recognize phishing and will inform you about what to do with these types of messages.
, Do not believe every text message or e-mail and don't just enter your personal details
, First of all, ask yourself whether you are expecting a parcel. For shipments within the EU, bpost will never ask you to pay when your parcel is in transit (e.g. to avoid extra costs), or to provide personal information by e-mail or text message. Furthermore, bpost will never threaten to send a bailiff if you don't pay for your parcel. Only enter personal details if you are 100% sure that you are dealing with bpost. We will never ask you for personal information via e-mail or text message.
, Check the web address
, A fraudulent email or text message usually contains a link or button that goes to an untrustworthy website. You can check the URL by hovering over the link with your mouse. The web address will then appear at the bottom left of your browser. If you do not recognize the address immediately, do not click the link.
, Help prevent phishing
, Forward suspicious messages to abuse@bpost.be . This way, you will help prevent others from becoming victims of scammers.
The unique code generated by bpost is used in tracking notifications. The recipient receives tracking emails when the following milestones are reached: When you confirm your delivery request as shipper. When the delivery round commences (for home deliveries) or when the mail is available at the Pick-up point. When a home delivery cannot be made because no one is present at the address, in notification and reminder emails. The secure delivery code will also be available in your recipient’s My bpost app if the same email address is linked to the recipient’s app account.
Always check the details of your money transfer carefully before signing the form and agreeing to the transfer. The counter clerk uses those details to send your money. If an error was made, you must go back to the Post Office or Ria agency where the money was sent and modify the transaction.
