Would you pick up on this if you were in a hurry and happen to be expecting a package? (imagine it's in English 😅) What immediately catches your eye?

Knowing I had to look out for something spotting the IPS was easy. Don't 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 this… (And now I started googling)

I’ve been bamboozled.

I’ve searched, I found, I’ve become disappointed.
