Transcript
Got a text saying your package couldn't be delivered?
It says to click a link to fix a problem, like unpaid postage.
The link opens a look-alike site that asks for your financial information.
If you pay, your card number goes straight to the scammer.
Don't click. Look up tracking on the site you ordered from.
Report it as spam, or forward it to 7 7 2 6.
