I don’t know the answer, but would be interested if anyone else knows for sure.But what happens if you fall for it?
You give them your credit card details and they get €3.
They then use these details to take more from your credit card. But I presume the Credit Card company has to return the money.
I assume they may attempt to take a larger amount, but I don't know. It had a curious, probably fake, link to some rotary club in Italy. I imagine the CC company would stump up, but who knows? What made it "clever" was it came in on an SMS message feed I already had from DHL and, like many people, I'm an online shopper receiving deliveries regularly from DHL, so it seemed legit. I'm no expert on these scams, but the fact they had what appeared to be a legit SMS source, and that I do indeed use DHL, indicated that there may have been a security breach, but I don't know for sure.But what happens if you fall for it?

Not 'having a go' at you but feigning origins of SMS's has also been knocking around for years.What made it "clever" was it came in on an SMS message feed I already had from DHL
That's crazy in this day and age of so many scam texts!Unfortunately I have received legitimate texts from DHL with payment links
Even though they usually reimburse you, their T&Cs state that you can be held liable for loss where you authorise the transaction. The CVV number on cards was introduced to transfer risk to the card-holder.If I stupidly or even naively gave my debit / credit card details to a scammer and was scammed, would the bank reimburse me, if so why is my stupidity or naivety the bank's problem ?
