Based on common courier scam patterns, royalinksecourier.com appears to be a fraudulent or fake website designed to steal money rather than deliver packages. It frequently appears in “package scams” where victims are asked to pay high shipping, customs, or handling fees for a gift that never arrives. Securelist +1
Here are the red flags to watch for regarding this and similar websites:
- Request for Money/Customs Duties: The main indicator is when the courier asks for high payment (often in INR) to clear custom duties for a supposed “gift” from a stranger met online.
- No Real Package: There is generally no parcel. The “courier” is operated by the same scammer who claims to be sending the gift, frequently using WhatsApp to communicate.
- Lack of Credibility: Such sites are not recognized shipping brands and often lack verified contact details, physical addresses, or a legitimate online reputation.
- Common Scenarios: Scammers often claim to be working in Europe (Cyprus, Italy, UK) or the US, acting as high-level professionals (e.g., engineers, military) who want to send jewelry, cash, or electronics.
What to Do:
- DO NOT send money to this company.
- Do not share personal or financial information with them.
- Report the scam to local law enforcement or the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
- Block the scammers on WhatsApp and social media.
