Expert Opinion
Imagine your phone buzzes with a message claiming an Amazon driver is at your door. Before you rush out, open the Amazon app or website to confirm any pending delivery – genuine orders will appear there. Treat any unsolicited text that asks for a "safe place" or personal details with caution; genuine Amazon alerts never request credit‑card numbers or passwords. If the message matches a real order, you can safely ignore it or use the provided STOP option to halt future texts. When in doubt, block the number and report it to the relevant consumer protection platform.

I received a text and a follow‑up that suggested a neighbour was messaging, then an Amazon parcel showed up immediately afterwards. I’ve never gotten texts from Amazon before, so it felt a bit odd. It probably wasn’t a scam this time, but it was certainly strange given I’d never been contacted previously.
Beware of the glowing reviews – this is a scam. As other users noted, the SMS content is identical across victims, which is highly improbable. Block the number; Amazon never texts, any communication would come via email from your own account. If you haven’t placed an order, ignore the message; if you have, verify it in your Amazon account.
Pure fraud.
Looks like a scam – don't reply and check your Amazon account for any orders instead. Those positive comments are probably the scammers themselves. Mate.
A message arrived from this number pretending to be an Amazon driver en route with my order – obviously bogus since I’m not awaiting anything. The text even told me to reply STOP, secure pets, and switch on a light, right? Definitely a dodgy ploy, cheers.
I experienced a similar scenario where scammers posed as my Amazon delivery driver, but the phone number turned out to be harmless.

Appearing trustworthy, I got the message ten minutes before a parcel was due.
This looks like an Amazon alert informing me that the driver is nearby for delivery.
I was sent a message claiming to be from Amazon about a driver’s upcoming delivery, yet the parcel had already arrived and been opened twenty‑five minutes earlier. The number doesn’t appear malicious, but it felt odd because Amazon usually contacts me via email. I don’t recall ever giving them my phone number, though I probably did. The text offered a “STOP” option, yet I chose to block the number instead.

Received the same text from another number, which makes it look even less legit. I also noted that a parcel arrived for a different resident without any notification, right?

Turns out it was a legitimate driver and safe, though I initially suspected a scam like many others.

I received that familiar ‘A driver has a message about your order…’ SMS, which felt oddly vague and raised red flags. I hadn’t placed any Amazon order, yet an eBay delivery showed up minutes later – maybe some sellers outsource to Amazon, yeah?
Around 8 pm I received a text claiming to be from Amazon, even though I hadn't placed any order, so I chose not to reply.
Although it seemed questionable, the Amazon driver arrived within five minutes, confirming the contact was safe.
The notification seemed legitimate, reading, “A driver has a message about your order. Reply STOP to stop receiving texts from Amazon for deliveries and pickups. Hi, I'll be arriving with your delivery soon. Please secure pets if you have them and turn on a light if it's dark. Thanks!” Initially I was wary, but I did have a parcel en‑route. Shortly afterwards another text confirmed delivery and warned the session would close in five minutes, which matched the exact moment the package arrived, suggesting it was safe.

Uncertainty remains whether this is a genuine contact or merely a scheme to sell my personal data.
Messages from Amazon consistently arrive from this number, usually stating, “A driver needs help with your delivery; please secure any pets and turn on a light if it’s dark. Thank you.” After the parcel is delivered, a follow‑up text says “this session is closed” and even offers an “opt out” option for future delivery texts.
A text popped up warning of an Amazon delivery – something I’ve never seen, so stay alert, mate.
The text purportedly from Amazon looked unprofessional and raised suspicion.
It's surprising that fraudsters use this forum to claim they're not scams; I receive texts on my data‑only SIM! Scammers, beware – OFTEL tracks these numbers.

Legit call. I was suspicious and checked here first. Email confirmed my package delivery. Wasn't due till Friday, so chuffed! :)
Had a fake delivery message from Amazon, what a scam

As others have mentioned, this was about an Amazon delivery. I’d forgotten I’d ordered something to my partner’s address (different from mine), so I was initially confused and checked here to see if it was genuine. Almost immediately after "Hi, I’ll be delivering [...] Please secure pets and turn on a light if it’s dark..." a second text confirmed the delivery. Right after, the Amazon app sent a push notification saying the delivery had been completed.
A call from this unrecognised number preceded the arrival of a courier with an Amazon package at my doorstep
