    It's worth pointing out that the tracking number is an immediate giveaway. That's not a valid tracking number. International postal tracking numbers are the format [2 Letters][5-9 Numerical Digits][Country ISO Code (2 Letters)]. So a tracking number couldn't start with UPS as it's three letters.

    UPS tracking numbers always start with 1Z.

    ^^^ Image from linked website, my message didn't have a tracking code. Blocked & Spam reported.

    "There is an update on your parcel. Item stopped due to unpaid customs fee. Follow the instructions here bm1.link/X#???"

    Not the actual link quoted above.
