It's strange, here in Norway I usually get phishing attempts of the "check your parcel" variety around the time something is on its way with DHL from another country. I guess they have someone on the inside that supplies the tracking numbers.

Actually it turns out the scammers just use targeted marketing data like any other business to find out who to target with their scams.

No need to have a person on the inside when they can just buy data on people who have ordered something recently and then target them with a scam text about their order.

Same in Sweden and not only for DHL. Not sure if it's someone on the inside or a leak being exploited, I have experienced it only twice while my partner often gets those SMS with suspicious links after an online purchase.
