Evri scam texts and emails: is that delivery message real?

“We missed you today.” “Pay £1.20 to book a new delivery slot.” Evri says it never asks you to pay to reschedule a delivery. Its texts come from “Evri”, not a phone number, and the only link in them is a tracking link, to evri.link or evri.com. Paste the message below to see where its link really goes before you tap.

What they look like

A missed delivery, and a fee to book a new slot

Made-up examples based on real scams. Their links end in .example, so they lead nowhere: no one can own a .example address. The phone number is one kept for fiction.

  • A missed delivery by text

    Evri’s real texts come from “Evri”, not a phone number.

  • A fee to redeliver

    Evri says it never asks you to pay to reschedule a delivery.

The facts

How Evri really contacts you

18,000+scam sites and fake social media profiles Evri took down in the months to September 2025. (Evri, September 2025)

  • Text

    Texts from “Evri”

    Evri says its texts never show a mobile number as the sender. It’s a verified sender, so its texts aren’t marked as possible spam.

  • Links

    Only evri.link or evri.com

    Evri says its texts never ask for payment, and the only link in them is a tracking link, to evri.link or evri.com. If you’re unsure even then, don’t tap: track the parcel at evri.com yourself.

  • Fees

    No fee to reschedule

    Evri says it never asks you to reschedule a delivery, or to pay to do so. It tries to deliver up to three times.

  • Email

    Evri’s own email addresses

    Evri says its emails typically come from @evri.com, @hermes-europe.co.uk or @myhermes.co.uk. A sender’s name is easy to fake, so check where a link goes too.

Spot it

Four signs of a fake Evri message

  1. 01

    It comes from a mobile number

    Evri’s real texts show “Evri” as the sender. A text about your parcel from a number like 07… isn’t from Evri.

  2. 02

    A fee to redeliver or book a new slot

    Evri says it never asks you to pay to reschedule a delivery. Fake pages ask for a pound or two, then your full card details.

  3. 03

    A link that isn’t evri.link or evri.com

    Evri says the only link in its texts is a tracking link, to evri.link or evri.com. Read the site name from the right: evri.com.parcel‑fee.example is really parcel‑fee.example. Paste the message above to see where the link goes.

  4. 04

    It asks you to reply Y, or to copy the link

    On an iPhone, iMessage turns off links in texts from unknown senders. Scammers ask you to reply Y, or to copy the link into Safari, to get round that. Evri warns some of these messages carry a “profile” that, if downloaded, can change an iPhone’s settings.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Evri charge a redelivery fee?

No. Evri says it never asks you to pay to reschedule a delivery, and its texts never ask for payment. It tries to deliver up to three times.

What does a real Evri text look like?

It shows “Evri” as the sender, not a phone number, and its only link is a tracking link, to evri.link or evri.com. Peekray knows both are Evri’s own. If you’re unsure, don’t tap: track the parcel at evri.com yourself.

Why does a text ask me to reply Y or copy the link?

On an iPhone, iMessage turns off links in texts from unknown senders, and replying turns them back on. Scammers ask you to reply Y, or to copy the link into Safari, to get round that. Evri warns some of these messages carry a “profile” that, if downloaded, can change an iPhone’s settings. Don’t reply: paste the link into Peekray instead.

I paid a fee in a fake Evri text. What now?

Call your bank now on the number on the back of your card (in the UK you can also dial 159), and tell them you entered your card details on a scam site. Expect follow-up calls pretending to be your bank, and hang up on them. Peekray’s guide to what to do after a scam link takes you through the rest.

Does Peekray read my messages?

No. When you paste a message, Peekray picks out the links on your device and sends only those web addresses to its server to check. The rest of the message isn’t sent.
