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

Caller: Scammer pretending to be AusPost

Looks like Auspost has a leak in their system getting customers live delivery data. The scammy version of the SMS looks downright suspicious (URL mypo. st and only 1 choice "Y"). For reference the correct one is shown on AusPost website "Text my choice page" (URL auspost.com.au and 3 choices "1, 2 or 3"). Spoofed from same number AusPost uses which is listed on AusPost website.

Dodgy text claiming a parcel coming today. Whilst I am expecting an item a quick check of the legit tracking system does not confirm a delivery today.

I wrongly determined that this number was a scam and reported it as such this morning. However, a parcel arrived just now from the sender included in the SMS message thought to be a scam. Looks like I was wrong? Now I'm just confused as to what is a scam! See Report from "Lazza" , of August 8, above which seems to be correct.

Received SMS from this number, allegedly from Auspost, asking me to reply Y if I want parcel left if delivery person finds no-one home. It's a scam according to Australia Post website https://auspost.com.au/about-us/about-our-site/online-security-scams-fraud/scam-alerts

StarTrack is owned by Australia Post but the links to mypo.st/ IS NOT OWNED BY AUSTRALIA POST AND IS AN OFFSHORE DOMAIN AND NOT SECURE!

Caller: AusPost

https://mypo.st is officially used by AusPost. It's an example of a TinyURL which is a web service used to shorten long URLs. I received an SMS asking me to respond with a 'Y' or 'N' if I wanted my package left if no one was home. I first checked the tracking ID via email and the delivery date matched. I clicked on the URL in the SMS and it took me to AusPost and the correct Tracking number.

Caller: Star Track

Received an SMS asking for a Y or N reply if I wanted a parcel I'm expecting to be left unattended at my premises if I'm not home to accept delivery. Suspicious, so I googled the number & decided it was legit & replied Y - did not click on the link in the message, just sent an SMS back. After coming here & seeing comments about it being a scam, I checked my tracking number via the Star Track website & my delivery details had been updated at the time I replied to the SMS to say I gave authority for my parcel to be left unattended if I wasn't home - therefore, in my case, this was definitely a legit SMS.

Legit AuPost StarTrack delivery, all safe links bad delivery signed for as received, done ✔️

The number is legitimately Australia Post, however scammers are sending SMS pretending to be from the number to mobile phones.
The SMS will try and direct you to a fake site, that is similar to the real Aus Post site, check the link for extra "."
For example, the link currently going around is my.po.st , the link is underlined to try and hide the "."'s
Never click on a link from an SMS, and never enter your username and password from a link, or any billing details

They may be aware that you are having a delivery from somewhere, they may have a link to something that tells them, then they send you the fake link. Mine says to go pick up with ID as I replied Y to late - it gives me no details on where to pick it up and I am not clicking the link

Received SMS from 0448 008 003 supposedly from AusPost. Poor English in text is a give-way of a Scam .SMS contains a link to mypo.st/xxxx this is a scam. Do not click the link and delete the SMS.

have to eat my words because I just received a parcel that was sent by a friend so looks like AusPost e-mail message and phone text from 0448 008 003 were legit although will still be very weary and not click on anything either on the phone or the e-mail

Same message for me first sent via e-mail delivery from Amazom c/o SEKO then an sms this morning your parcel coming today. Did not order or have ever ordered from Amazon so unless it's a surprise pressie from a friend which I don't think so and to all those people saying it's not a scam they could be the one's sending the messages be weary people

SCAMMERS!
My item is coming from overseas and is due to arrive next week yet these bozos are telling me it’s coming today!
Nice try! A gold sticker for you!

scam txt message. mypo.st is the giveaway. Beware

This is a legit url. I've used this multiple times and doing a lookup, this domain is owned by aus post

Lowlife scumbag scammers. Aus Post does not have phone number displayed on genuine sms. when reply Y it is rejected as not functional. Do not click on link. reported.
How do they know who is sending a parcel. which is also beng delivered on same day, and for which a separate sms has been received?

yep scam get them too often have nothing coming genuine Aust post usually do not show a phone number on the top of the message page so I was told by Aust POST
