Had the Evri scam message a few days ago, using a 3rd party supplier (so item not shipped directly from Amazon). I've deleted the message now but it goes along the lines of 'Your order has been returned due to a problem with the address. You need to pay extra to have the parcel delivered, so click this link'. I completed ignored it because when I checked what I ordered and the carriers, the parcels were coming via DHL and Hermes. Both parcels were delivered but one actually came from via Evri. Could be just an error, or coincidence, but I haven't ordered anything from Amazon for a while and the possible scam message came through soon after one of the the items was marked as dispatched.
I wouldn't have clicked the link in the email anyway as I would have raised a ticket via Amazon to sort it, rather than paying anything more, but seems fishy like someone in the supply chain involved.
Reminds me to only order if 'Sold by' and 'Dispatches from' are both Amazon, a rule I had used for years previously due to issues using 3rd parties before.
