The Korea Post, under the Ministry of Science and ICT, issued a warning on September 29 about counterfeit delivery notices that have been found in some areas.
According to Korea Post, these forged delivery notices are meticulously crafted, with the contact numbers of postal workers altered to be used for phishing or QR codes modified, making them difficult for the average person to identify.
The counterfeit notices are attached to regular paper with clear tape or stickers that do not come off cleanly when removed.
Korea Post stated, "The delivery notices issued by Korea Post are made from special thermal paper (receipt paper)," adding that the adhesive used for attachment is designed to be easily removable, similar to Post-it notes.
Park In-hwan, head of Korea Post, urged individuals to contact their local post office for verification if they suspect a notice was sent from the post office and to report any findings to the nearest post office or police.
