Head up: You’ve probably seen a message claiming a courier has delivered a package and demanding a payment link. Never click on unfamiliar URLs, especially when they ask for money or personal details. Verify the shipment directly with the courier’s official website or customer service using known contact info. Delete the SMS and block the number to stop further spam. If you accidentally entered details, monitor your accounts for unauthorized activity and consider reporting the incident to your mobile provider or a consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical and double‑checking can keep you safe from these scams.
