  1. No! Dont click! Classic Scam going around since several years. Often Malware/Spyware will get installed without you even noticing it.

  2. To add: Im actually waiting for some packages and I blurred some of the link just incase it has my info in it.

  3. Worst case they install spyware – best case they know this number is active and you will get a shit ton of spamm calls in near future.

  4. It smells (rather stinks) like a scam/phishing attempt. Do not click on anything in that message.

  5. Lately i have been getting so much garbage spam like this. My rule is simple: if i didn‘t order a package i‘m not getting one. If i did and get a message like this i will not click the link but go directly to the website.

  6. This is a scam.

    On the other hand I’m a Nigerian prince and I would need your help but I’ll reward your action, just contact me for this great opportunity.

  7. Def. Fake. Die Post and other institution or companies usually don’t send SMS and IF (written big because i seriously doubt that they do) you get one, then the grammar is impeccable, perfect. You can google the phonenumber to see reviews of other people. Fake E-Mails are similar. It actually says the name of the company at the E-Mail adress but if you watch the actual adress, there isn’t the name of the company. Usually they are missing of the actual logo of the company and the grammar is cancerous.

    Btw. If you are not expecting anything, then it’s clear that its fake anyways.

  8. FYI: Sometimes there’s even super realistic EMails from Die Post, with their logo and all. Only way you can know is that 1. Normally, you don’t get any E-Mails / texts about packages or letters that are waiting for you, unless you specifically asked to be notified (if there’s even an option for that). And 2., they don’t mention your name in the E-Mail.

    If your package has a tracking number, you can go on the Post website and go to Sendung verfolgen, which will allow you to see where the package currently is.

    The majority of packages are distributed via Die Post.

  9. The owner of the mobile number already has a virus installed on his phone. You have the possibility to answer him to his SMS with a screenshot with the info that he should wipe his phone. This way the spread of these kind of messages can be limited.

  10. As a Fraud manager this infuriates me honestly.
    Do you expect a package? Maybe? Do you expect a package from this weird af URL? No? Then it’s a fucking scam!

    How many times folks….
    Like c’mon does the URL seem like something legit? No it fucking doesn’t…!
