Yodel scam or genuine?

[Lysander]

Apparently I have a parcel being delivered by Yodel. I got a couple of emails about it but am not expecting anything.

Now, Yodel says on its website

Please note:

To keep you up to date with your parcel's journey, you will receive emails from [email protected] to notify you when your parcel is on its way or has been delivered.

This is the same email address that messages have been coming from. They have provided a tracking number, which I can type in to yodel.co.uk and it checks out that something is on the way.

Am I being scammed? I am normally not convinced by scam emails but this feels like it might be genuine.

Wait and see as long as it's not asking you for any kind of payment or you start clicking links that go to other websites then I would say it has a chance of been genuine.

Yes, they're not asking for anything. Weird, we'll see then, I suppose.

Is this not the random Amazon thing where they send stuff out for positive reviews on shonky items? Something employed by far eastern suppliers. Not a scam as such but probably got your details through leaks / hacks on the site itself?

What time is it due?

If you go silent afterwards, at least we'll all know it was nefarious and to be careful ourselves

I don't know. Apparently it is from "Winit". Doesn't sound good

Just says today and that it's coming with Aimee, whoever she is.

EDIT: I've worked out what this is. It's genuine, thanks all.

Winit is some sort of Chinese delivery service, so something you've got on the way from China, maybe COVID-21?

They're an eBay partner, which explains it. I ordered something a week ago off eBay and forgot about it.

If it's just some cheap Chinese tat I'd imagine they're just doing it for reviews. It's a scam but you're not losing out

Keep us updated though!

More info required. Photos of genuine product required and did you forget you ordered it?
