I've ordered a PinePhone Pro, to be delivered to the United Kingdom.
This morning, I got an unexpected call from someone claiming to work for DHL, explaining that VAT / duties were due.
They knew my name, the email address I had used with PINE64's store, and my phone number.
They followed up with an email, linking to the DHL.co.uk website (which I verified). The email headers looked fine.
The waybill number shows on the DHL parcel tracking site, delivering to approximately the right area.
For whatever reason, I could not see any content on the DHL payment website unless I enabled "performance" cookies. Poor config, since at least something was clearly necessary to display the page.
It all appears to add up, other than the fact I have not had a shipping notification about the phone, and I paid the £70ish charge seemingly required of me.
Just in case others have the same experience.
