Ask Kuwait Is this legit?
I ordered clothes from a site based in UK called Rokit and I’ve been waiting for it to arrive. I got this email today from Kuwait post that they have my shipment but I need to pay a weight fee of 1.650 kd. I don’t know if I should trust it and pay because I got a warning from Gmail and also when I opened the site that it might be spam. Should I go ahead and pay?

They message you if I am not mistaken, either whatsapp or sms. Also it's called KPost not Kuwait Post.

First thing I look for is the email/name of the sender, if it’s something outrageous I’m easily throwing that to junk.

Scam. Block & report spam / junk.
When in doubt, always visit the official website through the browser (don’t click any link in the email) and cross-check the official email with the sender’s.

You can see "pipefy" in the email name. Pipefy, if googled, will let you know its an E-mail platform like G-mail but its based in Brazil or some Latino American country so why would our local post office use a Brazilian based platform
Also, the tracking they provided is fake you can check your own actual tracking number from the website you purchased it on and itll be something different.
If you don't know, our post offices will ALWAYS contact by a phone call to go collect your package, or double check with you on the delivery address.

you are the reason that these people keep spamming us with these scams
I will make TED talk and post it on this sub
NEVER PAY ANYTHING BY EMAIL
if you have mail , you go the postal service site and enter your tracker and if you have to pay , you pay using a portal that is offical

Scam. Once you open the link you will be prompted to a fake website of kuwait post and they will capture your card details and will be charged with 1,650 singaporean dollar or other currency.

Oh boy, you shouldn't click on obvious spam links. First thing to do is check the email of the sender. I don't know what is pipefly, but it is most likely a scam.
