With a deluge of Christmas parcels about to hit the postal system, Canada Post is warning about a parcel scam.
People are receiving bogus emails that claim to be from Canada Post.
The email tells the recipient delivery failed and to click on a link to arrange redelivery or check on the status.
Once someone clicks on the link, they are asked for personal information.
Canada Post says it does not email customers following an unsuccessful delivery attempt and recommends the following steps:
*If you are awaiting a parcel but did not specifically request a delivery update by email, delete the email
*If you are not expecting a delivery, delete the email
*Do not click on any link;
*Do not provide any personal information requested by these emails;
*Customers can follow the progress of their item by using the package tracking number, either on canadapost.ca or through the Canada Post mobile app, which can be downloaded for free to all key mobile devices
