Would you pick up on this if you were in a hurry and happen to be expecting a package? (imagine itās in English š ) What immediately catches your eye?
Knowing I had to look out for something spotting the IPS was easy. Donāt know if it would have been as obvious without knowing something is wrong. But I receive so many fake parcel emails (at least at one of my email addresses) that checking the website/app rather than klicking a link is the default option. And I usually add the email adress of the legitimate shops to my contacts so I can easily filter out emails from new e-mail addresses and ignore them.
ips is a real parcel service -edit: removed link-
But not with the ups looks. Besides this ips handles ups parcels. I can understand why people would fall for thisā¦ (And now I started googling)

Iāve been bamboozled.
Iāve been getting a lot of āyour package has arrived at _____, could not be delivered to address. Click here to speak to representativeā or something along those lines. Iām not sure what the ultimate goal is, though, youāre gonna get my routing number and try to redirect my package or some shit?
I think the goal of most of those is to convince you to pay ācustoms dutiesā or other āfees.ā
Well, we all know the IPS logo looks nothing like that.
I wonder if putting this logo would be more or less successful than making it look like the UPS logo. I can see people assuming there must be an international branch of UPS or something though from the logo looking like UPSās though. Which might convey legitimacy to them instead of how we see it.
I mean unfortunately taking everything with a grain of salt is kinda how most tech adept people are I think
Is this some kind of con research psyop? Sure seems like it. āwhat things do you notice that tell you itās fake?ā.
