Caller from 0448 008 003 would be legit. SMS from 0448 008 003 could be a scam. if the SMS contains a link to mypo.st/xxxx this is a scam. do not click the link and call your carrier for further clarification.

Legit / genuine number.

This number is an automated text from Star Track who is partnered with Aust Post. It's a delivery text message. It's about a parcel being delivered to your address today.
It asks for a choice (1, 2, or 3) 1= Leave at your address (if there is a safe place) & accept T&C's. 2 = Someone will be home. 3 = Take to Post Office if not home.

Had a genuine parcel delivered within hours of text.

text message received from 0448 008 003 saying "your item is coming today. Nobody home? Reply Y and we'll leave it at your address if theres a safe place. Tracking details: " and gives a link to click. I am waiting on a parcel, but this text looks dodgy. If it is legit (like some of the comments on this page suggest) they need to include who the message is from.

Caller: SCAMMERS Pretending to be AUSPOST

I'm actually impressed. These folks have managed to spoof the correct phone number for aus post... or they have a webpage set up to spoof aus post. ALL of the links in their message are invalid, as in, they will take you to the scam connection. Any time you see they are trying to get you to a link that is not AUSPOST.COM.AU, it's a scam. On computers, rest the cursor over the link to see what the encoding actually is. On SMS messages and computer messages, do NOT click on the link without knowing exactly where it is taking you. It's a scam.... knowledge is YOUR weapon against these people since it's obvious the government is doing nothing about it. Don't let them suck you in.

Aus Post Delivery scheduled

lowlife scumbag scammers - auspost does not have phone number on sms for deliveries. - reported.

Caller: A text from the number above.

I was texted this same message and came to this site. I've just taken delivery of what I ordered, and was worried all morning because of people saying it was a scam. It's not. I even know the guy -- he's our regular parcel deliverer!
So to all you alarmists, you are wrong. And to anyone who gets one of these. your parcel is coming. And to those who went to the PO, they got it wrong too. We've had this courier for over two years.

I got an SMS with a mypo.st link. I didn't follow the exact link but a visit to the home page satisfied me that it's *not* an Australia Post address.

Caller: SMS - providing Australia Post parcel tracking information

Message says that I have a parcel coming from Spotlight (Tasmania) and will be delivered to my home address: St Leonards, Launceston (Tas).
Only problem is I don't live and have never lived in Tasmania.
SCAM alert triggered and I did not respond at all. Be vigilant people!!!

I got the same message 21st September 2018 must be making the rounds again. Don't click on any link

Australia post confirming parcel delivery retails. not spam

This number has been texting me as ‘AusPost’ for the past two weeks, and now it’s getting to a point it’s almost two texts a day. I’ve already blocked one number and now this one started. Apparently I keep buying from Deals Direct and Mysale when no such thing has occurred

Caller: Australia Post

This is a genuine message. Just reply "Leave it in a safe place.

Thought this was a scam when I recieved an SMS from them, but was clearly wrong as parcel was delivered as it was stated it would be. Delivered by AUSPost
