Israel Post (Doar Yisrael) is famous as being Israel’s sometimes beleaguered national postal service.

Unfortunately in recent years it has become a popular target for scammers - based in Israel and abroad - who impersonate the post office or authorities in order to get gullible customers to pay fraudulent charges and sometimes even steal their credit card details or identity. 

Social media groups are filled with stories of people who have fallen victim to the scammers and their ruses. For this reason, I put together this video tutorial providing some general guidelines for how to distinguish between general communications from Doar Yisrael and fraudulent phishing attempts,

If you’re an online orderer who has almost fallen for one of these tricks or know a family member or friend who has been defrauded, then consider watching and sharing this video among your network.
