WARNING! Do not pay! I received this SMS and am currently not expecting a parcel and the homepage is very shady (links not working etc.), so I think this is a scam.

Got the same…only 2% customs but need to give credit card information
Also: dont tap on that link. Not quite improbable they will either try and install malware on your phone or at least they can track you and have a confirmation that your personalized SMS was delivered and read.
I heard about this scam on the news before Christmas. Many poeple were scammed who were expecting parcel deliveries.
A couple of rules for security:
1. When you receive a text with a link, don’t click it. Open a tab and go to supposed website on your own. So say Apple sent a text containing a link, you open a tab and go to the Apple’s website and check your accounts status. Don’t use the link provided.
2. Block the contact if you don’t know
3. Never reply to the text
4. If the message starts with “Hello you”, “hello cutie”, “urgent message”, “requires immediate attention”, and so on, just don’t open the message at all. Block and delete the text.
