A single report of a suspicious text message pretending to be from a delivery service stands out as a classic red flag for phishing attempts. This isn't a legitimate notification; scammers often use urgent language about parcels to trick people into clicking malicious links that steal personal info or install malware. Never click those URLs, especially ones leading to odd domains like 'parcelsonlinez.live'. Instead, verify any package issues directly through the official tracking site of your carrier, like NZ Post if it's New Zealand-related. Block the number and report it to your phone provider or authorities to help stop these schemes from spreading.
The message read: “New Zealand Parcel: Your parcel has arrived, but delivery is on hold because the house number is missing. Verify and update your address here: http://parcelsonlinez.live/nz?vcx=fgi4gX”.
