Delivery scam: Gardai issue alert over text trick that's doing the rounds
An Garda Síochána have urged people to be alert to these ongoing scams.




Sorry mods if this has already been posted, I tried searching.

Got that similar SMS today Sunday, lucky I wasn't expecting any package.

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.
