DMARC is the rule a domain owner publishes telling mail servers what to do with email that pretends to come from them. The stronger it is, the more likely scammers switch to lookalike domains, which is why the next section matters.

We check misspellings, look-alike characters, and the DHL name combined with words like “delivery”, “parcel”, “tracking” across common domain endings. A registered lookalike is not proof of a scam: companies often register typos of their own name to protect customers. But you should never trust a message from one.

Scams using the DHL name
Texts and emails saying a parcel is held until you pay a small redelivery or customs fee are among the most common scams using this name. Check the tracking number yourself on dhl.com.
Delivery scams work because almost everyone is expecting a parcel. Real tracking only lives on the courier's own website or app.
A small fee to release your parcel
A text or email says your parcel is on hold and asks for a small payment for redelivery or customs. The amount is tiny on purpose. The payment page is built to capture your card details.
Confirm your address
You are told a delivery failed because your address was incomplete and asked to confirm your details through a link.
Missed delivery card or call
A fake missed-delivery note or voicemail asks you to call a premium-rate number or visit a website to rebook.

Step by step
How to check a message that claims to be from DHL
- 1
Look at the actual sender address, not just the name. Tap or hover over the name to reveal it. It must end in @dhl.com or @dhl.de, or a subdomain of one.
- 2
Do not use links or phone numbers from the message. Type dhl.com into your browser or open the official DHL app, and check your account there.
- 3
Slow down when you see urgency, small fees, gift cards, crypto, or requests for codes and passwords. Those are the levers every scam pulls.

Questions
DHL scam FAQ
What email address does DHL use?
Genuine DHL email comes from addresses ending in @dhl.com, @dhl.de, or a subdomain of those (for example something@mail.dhl.com). An address on any other domain, even one containing "dhl", is not DHL.
Can scammers fake an @dhl.com email address?
Strong. dhl.com tells receiving mail servers to reject email that fakes an @dhl.com address. Scammers usually switch to lookalike domains instead, so check the domain carefully.
Are there websites pretending to be DHL?
On 14 October 2026 we checked 142 lookalike domain names and found 29 registered. 4 appear to be owned by DHL or a brand-protection service, 0 are parked or for sale, and 21 could not be linked to DHL while hosting a website or accepting email. A registered lookalike is not proof of a scam, but any message from one deserves suspicion.
What should I do if I clicked a link in a fake DHL message?
Do not enter anything else. If you typed a password, change it at dhl.com straight away and turn on two-step sign-in. If you entered card or bank details, call your bank using the number on your card. Then report the message using the guide below.
