Fake EVRi delivery scam texts aim to install spyware on your phone and steal your details

Watch out for scam texts pretending to be from delivery companies like EVRi.

Over past few months, fraudsters have been sending texts pretending to be from EVRi - formerly known as Hermes - which tell the recipient they need to rearrange a delivery for a package.
