# The South African Express Parcel Association has warned of criminals exploiting the rise in online shopping to target unsuspecting consumers. A common scam is one where fraudsters impersonate courier companies and claim consumers owe a small fee for duties or taxes. By clicking on the link, victims unknowingly provide their credit card information to make the payment. CEO Garry Marshall highlighted that most of these scams often involve low-value amounts to avoid suspicion.
