DHL is a legitimate company, but the scammer is just using their name.

If they left a delivery notice at your address, then give them a call.
DHL is a delivery company (owned by Deutsche Post) which is a leading international courier service.
However, if you are getting an email with an attached .zip file, and the message looks like this:

Sometimes they try to put a different name on it.

(5,946 posts)this one is a medical something scam. Ifthat is what you have, don't accept it, but calling the shipper and asking who sent it, is worth the effort.
