If sender manages to send out 1000 parcels daily and every parcel is COD $10-20. Just need 40% to fall for this trick and they earn few thousands daily. those who kena scammed will probably not report police or make a fuss because the $ too insignificant to go thru the hassles

Maybe it's COD, and the information on the package isn't clear, which is why he thinks it's a scam.

Ok, the courier is JNT Express. If you didnt order anything, reject and report to JNT Express. If you order anything and going to pay by cash, inform your family members and also the amount.

How did the scammer get our address? From the Internet when we made purchases online? That means they know how to hack our account?

I think better dont fill in our details for any lucky draw. I am very sure our details are sold to 3rd parties.

This type of small amount scam even if quantify, is likely those JHK scammers.

The courier companies never vet enough.

For SPX, you need to submit ACRA, business statements, etc.
Suppose okay you get pass this.

It doesn't mean that COD is automatically approved, COD can require mroe information or history then be enabled.

Those courier companies are currently undercutting each other.
SPX is damn aggressive and look like set to wipe the others out.

My usual courier keep spamming me with lousy offers after i've switched.
