Am I being scammed? Advice sought.

26 comments

1. Have you created a kuroneko account ?

   Do you expect a parcel from abroad ?

2. How is anyone suppose to help you if you don’t even specify if you are actually expecting a luggage or not…

3. If you’re expecting a package then most likely yes. Just wait for them to deliver and don’t pay anything in advance. Those are the scam ones

4. Why don’t you call kuroneko?

5. In a few days we’ll get a new thread: “I just found out my cousin mailed me pot from Colorado. What should I do???”

6. I never heard of a kuroneko notification scam let alone something as ultra specific as your own international luggage being sent to you. The answer is simply: if you do indeed expect luggage, then no, it’s most likely not scam.

7. Wait until they open and call them to ask. The package won’t disappear anywhere if you wait until the start of their business hours.

   Don’t call the number in the email!!! Google the website and find the number there.

   That said, I have seen phishing emails pretending to be Kuroneko or Amazon.

8. Do nothing. It’s probably phishing.

   It’s probably phishing, but even if it weren’t, they would deliver regardless of whether you responded or not.

9. It’s a phishing scam. Ignore.

10. kids these days

11. If you’re not expecting anything not accept it.

    If your family randomly send you stuff you should tell them to not send you anything without informing you first because otherwise it may be refused and that’s their money wasted..

12. If you got an email, there should be the tracking number included.
    Just go to official website and enter that tracking number.

13. Do nothing. If it is a package from family, then it will be delivered tomorrow regardless.

14. Black cat Yamamoto

    This is the legit email and name they use. I have previously registered with them.

16. Short answer: Yes

    Long answer: Yes you are being scammed. I hope it didn’t actually say black cat yamamoto on the email…

17. “If in doubt, it’s probably a scam.”

18. why don’t you install the official app and get registered then you can see if it’s listed under expected deliveries.

19. Always check where email links actually go before clicking them.

    When using a PC, when you hover your mouse pointer over the link, a hint should pop up somewhere that tells you where it goes. See if it’s the right URL for the place you think it should go.

    On a phone, you can hold your finger down instead of tapping, and try to copy the URL, then paste it somewhere safe like a note-taking app.

    A URL is a thing that looks like this: `http://www.somewhere.com/directory/page.hml`

    If you’ve already clicked a link, you can check the URL in your browser.

    This is a little difficult on modern browsers, which are designed to leave you defenseless. You’ll probably see `somewhere.com` in the middle, at the top. Click here, find out what else you have to do to see/edit this (on phones you may have to tap a pencil icon, etc) so that you can look at the full URL.

    If the URL is like `http://w3.smwhr.uganda.cr/scam?query=UrInfo?get+sell?%fgsfds2938453762873` instead of what you expect, *DON’T CLICK*

20. luggage? 荷物 can also just mean package

21. There have been people **arrested** in Japan for accepting deliveries addressed to them that weren’t orderes; fake packages of fake drugs in a government sting. Never accept something you weren’t expecting.

22. Ignore it. If it’s real a delivery, it will show up. Also, stop clicking links when you’re unsure. That’s how you get malware.

23. don’t click the link it’s a phishing scam.

24. Firstly, it’s Yamato, not Yamamoto. I’m assuming autocorrect kicked in here, but if you genuinely think it’s Yamamoto and you’re saying everything checks out because it comes from Yamamoto… yeah, this is a standard scamming trick where they use an address that looks very similar to someone who isn’t looking carefully.

    Do not click the link. Never click links if you’re even the tiniest bit suspicious.

    Go to the Yamato website and check the tracking number. You can google “Yamato tracking” or “kuroneko tracking”. If it checks out then it’s legit. If it doesn’t check out then it’s a scam.

    It really is that simple.

25. You’ve probably given up your name and address to some shady company without realising it. This is just the start of a scam, ignore it.

26. This is probably definitely most certainly guaranteed to not not be a phishing scam of some kind. Devious cunts, they are.

    Obviously don’t poke any links, or email any addresses.

    Is there a Yamato tracking number in the message? Probably not. If there is though, see what the Yamato site makes of it; it’s probably going to be the home address of one of Luffy’s chumps.
