Some genuine cases of import duty payments exist, but this number is widely flagged for suspicious activity, including repeated, unsolicited calls or text-to-voice messages requesting payment.

Just got a call from some lot pretending to be DHL, saying my package from China needs a big fee paid. Yeah, I do owe import tax but defo not to this number! Either these scammers have hacked into DHL’s system or they know the drill from the sender’s end. Always best to double-check on the official DHL site before handing over any cash, don’t trust phone numbers or links the caller gives you - they’re fake!

I've received a yellow slip regarding my missing parcels, but it's oddly absent of my name. I'm rather baffled about the items I've ordered. Could you please assist me in figuring out where I might track down this information? Cheers!

I've received calls from this number for the past four days, and I got two today alone! We haven't placed any orders from overseas. The message claims that DHL has a parcel waiting for me but insists there's a tax fee of £27. I've decided to just ignore it.

Looks like that dodgy scammer bloke's caught wind of this place. Might have to have a little ‘safe but totally threatening’ chat with him, eh mate? What a muppet!

That number they've given ya for DHL about duty and VAT is actually a customs-related one, not your regular tracking or AWB number. It's what's called a 'customer' reference, assigned by customs folks, so don't mix it up with your usual shipment tracking code.

Got a voicemail from BT saying I owe over £18 plus VAT for a DHL parcel delivery. I'm waiting for a package, but there's no chance the VAT would be that high. The supposed DHL tracking number they gave was clearly fake. Seems like scammers are going after anyone expecting DHL parcels. The real issue probably begins with the sender in China organising the DHL shipping.

Got a call earlier today from 0844 2090102, supposedly from BT, with a text-to-speech message about a DHL parcel. They said I had to pay £27.50 in VAT before the package could be delivered. I had a look on the DHL site and the reference number they gave me wasn’t even valid. Sounds like the same sort of scam others have mentioned.

I recently bought something on eBay, including the shipping fees. Then, out of the blue, I received a call from someone asking for my credit card details and additional funds to clear the item through customs. If we can’t resolve this issue soon, I'll share the seller’s name with eBay for your attention.

Just got a call on my BT landline from 0844 2090102 with a voice text saying I owed £30 customs charge for a DHL package coming in. They even gave the right tracking number, and I am actually waiting on a delivery from abroad via DHL. Looks like it could be legit, but I haven’t gone ahead and paid yet since some of the earlier reviews here made me a bit wary.

I recently placed an order from a seller in China and wanted to share my experience regarding the unexpected fees. Upon delivery, the DHL courier informed me that I owed £19 for import duty and VAT, which caught me off guard. I hadn't anticipated such charges, but it was indeed DHL handling my package, and since I had ordered it myself, I went ahead and settled the amount. Just a heads up for anyone else in a similar situation!

Beware of this phone number; it’s clearly fraudulent! I recently got a package delivered by DHL, but the items were counterfeit. After settling the VAT upon receipt, I began to get bizarre requests to cough up an additional £2.37 for VAT. They claimed to be from DHL. However, a quick call to DHL themselves assured me that there are no outstanding payments. Definitely not trustworthy!

Just a quick follow-up about the 0844 2090102 number mentioned earlier - thought it might help some of you dealing with similar calls. I got in touch with BT customer service since they handle my line rental, and I went through their steps. Turns out I had this 'text to voice' service active on my line without realising it, so I’ve gone ahead and switched it off now. Hopefully this stops those annoying calls!

I received a message claiming to be from DHL, asking me to pay a £22 tax fee. However, when I tried to track the supposed parcel through their official site, it seems there's no record of it at all. I plan to ring the customer service number listed on DHL's website to report this. Does anyone know how I could go about blocking this number from messaging my landline?

Can anyone shed light on this company that's asserting our son has an outstanding debt from January? I'm quite perplexed by this situation!

Got calls from someone pretending to be DHL saying I need to pay VAT on a delivery. They’re asking for about £32, which would mean the parcel is worth over a hundred quid. Problem is, no one at my place is expecting any parcels, especially not costing that much. These lot are really annoying, ringing several times daily.

I recently placed an order with what I assumed was a US-based company, only to discover it was actually operating out of Hong Kong. After pestering them multiple times for a DHL tracking number, I finally received one that turned out to be bogus. When I reached out to DHL about a second tracking number, they informed me it was not valid either. Now, I’ve just received a dubious text from 08442090102 requesting that I settle an e-payment for VAT or some sort of admin fee. There’s no chance I’m paying this, and I plan to get back in touch with DHL. In summary, if you're unable to make a purchase in the UK or via PayPal, steer clear of it!

I just received a rather peculiar message from DHL regarding a parcel with reference number 7433120365, stating that I need to fork out £17.00 for Duty and VAT. The thing is, I haven’t placed any orders lately. They’ve requested that I settle this payment at www.dhl.co.uk/epayments. Seems a bit off to me!

I received a rather puzzling text message from BT claiming that I need to settle an HMRC fee in order to retrieve a parcel from DHL. However, the email I got from DHL clearly stated they would never request payment in this manner. I'm feeling a bit bewildered about the whole situation. What’s going on here?

Quite dubious, if you ask me. I ordered an item from China and took care of the shipping cost. Then I receive a text claiming I owe a bill. The parcel hasn't even turned up yet, and they haven't specified whether it'll arrive or not until this so-called bill is settled. It all seems rather fishy to me. They've sent a link for payment, yet there's scant detail about the whereabouts of my package or when I might see it. I'm opting to withhold payment for now. If the item doesn't show up, I intend to reach out to the seller directly.

I had a similar experience just now. Received a text message followed by a call from BT at 13:38 today, 28/08/2015, claiming there’s a parcel on the way via DHL, and they mentioned a VAT fee of £193.00. Since I’m not awaiting any deliveries, I chose to ignore and remove the message without a second thought.

This morning, at precisely 9:14 AM on Wednesday the 26th of August 2015, I received a rather peculiar text message from this number, claiming to be from BT. I can’t help but wonder whether it’s a legitimate message or just another crafty scam. What’s baffling me is why DHL would contact me regarding VAT and admin fees for a parcel, yet fail to mention who the recipient is! It all seems rather dodgy, doesn't it?
