Expert Opinion

Imagine receiving a text that claims your parcel is waiting and asks for a tiny R16.13 payment via a shady link. The message looks official, but the language and the unfamiliar short‑URL are red flags. Never click unknown links; instead, log into the courier’s real website or call their verified customer service number. If you weren’t expecting a delivery, ignore the SMS and delete it. Add the number to your block list and report it to your mobile carrier’s spam‑filtering service. Staying skeptical and verifying through known channels keeps you safe from these courier‑related scams.
