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