Expert Opinion

Most of the messages coming from +27811600010 are classic SMS phishing tricks that masquerade as a post‑office delivery notice. They pressure you to click a link and ‘update’ your address, often threatening a return or loss of a parcel. Never tap unknown URLs, even if they look official, and don’t share personal details. If you’re not expecting a delivery, delete the message and block the number. Report the number to your carrier or to the local consumer protection agency. Stay skeptical – legitimate post‑office alerts usually come via email or a tracked SMS from a verified short code.

27811600010 Scam ROADSAVE

I saw an offer from ROADSAVE on Facebook and thought it was legitimate, so I expressed interest. Later their SMS appeared as blocked. Recently I’ve been receiving messages from +27811600010 claiming my parcel hasn’t been collected, even though I wasn’t expecting any delivery. This makes me suspect that ROADSAVE could be a scam. Their Facebook promotion offered a free ICE Tag and emergency tag that could be scanned to provide vital health and contact details in case of a road incident. Emergency services would read this tag.
