Recently, one of my close friends received a fake ‘package delivery’ text saying she had to “update her address.” The link looked real, but it was designed to steal her personal and card information. The purpose of this scam was to steal credit card and identity details. It worked by sending a realistic text with a fake website and urgency (“update now”). We could tell it was fake because the sender was a random number, the URL wasn’t the company’s real site, and legitimate delivery services don’t charge redelivery fees. So, the best way to avoid this is to not click unexpected links and to verify through the official company website or app instead! Stay safe!
