Newly registered is not the same as malicious. Many of these are unrelated businesses or hobby sites. They are listed because attackers use exactly this pattern. Domains sharing a brand name with a keyword such as login, secure or verify deserve the closest look.

How An Post phishing works

Phishing against An Post follows patterns common to shipping & delivery. Typical lures:

A text saying a package could not be delivered and asking for a small "redelivery fee".
An email with a tracking number that links to a cloned tracking page.
A notice that your address is incomplete and the parcel will be returned.
A customs or duty payment request for a parcel you were not expecting.

Red flags

Real carriers do not ask for card details by text link to release a package.
The tracking link goes to a lookalike domain instead of the carrier's official site.
You were not expecting a parcel, or the tracking number does not exist on the official tracker.

Real An Post domains

If the address in your browser is not one of these (or a subdomain of them), it is not An Post. The list is not exhaustive.

anpost.com

If you already clicked or entered details

Do not enter more details. If you paid, call your card issuer to cancel the card and dispute the charge. Check any real parcel by typing the carrier's address into your browser and entering the tracking number there.

Protecting a brand like An Post from lookalike domains

If you run security, brand or fraud for a company that is copied this way, this is the order that works in practice:

Enforce DMARC. Move your policy to quarantine, then reject, so attackers cannot send mail that passes as your domain.
Watch new registrations. Lookalikes appear daily; the earlier you see one, the sooner you can act, ideally before the first email goes out.
Register the obvious typos and keyword variants you can afford to hold, and check which lookalikes are already registered by someone else.
Report fast. A live fake needs a request to the registrar and host, plus a report to browser safe-browsing lists and the public feeds shown above.
Tell your customers where you will and will not ask for logins, codes or payments.

Protect your brand from lookalike domains

An Post is one of 579 brands in this index, but attackers copy any company whose customers log in or pay. PhishPin checks your domain for registered lookalikes, email-spoofing gaps and listings in these same phishing feeds, then helps you get the fakes taken down.

Questions about An Post phishing

How can I tell if a message from An Post is phishing?

Check the sender and link domain first. Real carriers do not ask for card details by text link to release a package. The tracking link goes to a lookalike domain instead of the carrier's official site. You were not expecting a parcel, or the tracking number does not exist on the official tracker. When in doubt, do not use the link: type anpost.com into your browser or open the official app.

How many An Post phishing sites has PhishPin found?

As of 1 Nov 2026, 92 hostnames referencing An Post appear in the phishing feeds PhishPin indexes (160 reported URLs). These are reported hostnames, not a count of sites that are online today; many are removed quickly and some matches are coincidental.

What do fake An Post domains look like?

In our data, the most common ending for reported hosts is .top. The brand is most often combined with the word "service". 48 hosts put the brand name in a subdomain of an unrelated site. Always read the part of the address just before the first single slash: that is the real site. Real An Post addresses end in anpost.com.

What should I do if I entered my details on a fake An Post page?

How do I report a fake An Post website or message?

Forward phishing emails to reportphishing@apwg.org, report scams at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and report the page to Google Safe Browsing. Also tell An Post through the contact options on its official website (anpost.com).

Is it safe to visit the domains listed on this page?

No. They are shown defanged, with dots in brackets, so they cannot be clicked by accident. Do not type them into a browser. Listings are warnings from automated matching, and some are harmless coincidences.

How does PhishPin find lookalike domains of An Post?

We read the daily list of newly registered domains (1,050,000 domains over the last 15 days) and flag those that contain the brand name, differ by one character or swap look-alike characters. A match is a warning sign, not proof of abuse.

How can a company protect its own brand from lookalike domains like these?

Publish an enforced DMARC policy so nobody can send mail as your domain, monitor newly registered domains that resemble your name, register the obvious typo domains, and file takedown requests with the registrar, host and browser safe-browsing lists when a fake goes live. PhishPin's free brand audit checks the first three for your domain.
