I have 2 adult sons who regularly order items on line which get delivered to our house by Aust Post at least twice a week, and that does not include myself which I sometimes order on line too. As a result I know the AusPost delivery folks and I have never received an SMS before today. Therefore I confirm what other people have said that this is a SCAM. BEWARE PEOPLE - SCAM SCAM SCAM

Caller: SMS received today

Sent from Australia Post number. "Your item is coming today. Nobody home? Reply "Y" and we'll leave it at your address if there's a safe place. Tracking details: https://mypo.st/gOU3nz6kJtM".
I have checked the tracking number on Australia Post webpage and it does not exist!

Caller: sms message

about a delivery to home in Queensland know its a scam as too many numbers in the item and also from Tulloch Wine LMAO don't drink ( now there is a give away for scam )

SCAM. Received text with link and text back Y or N to leave at home on Sunday morning 8.04am.... Sunday delivery folks I very much doubt it.
Also, Aust Post leave a notice to collect in your mailbox if unable to leave!
Also, also, nothing ordered.

Be careful!! Scammers ARE sending these messages from the Auspost number.

The sms from this is a definite SCAM - DO NOT REPLY

First of all you cannot spell.
Secondly are you involved in the scam?

AusPost: Your item (https://mypo.st/cjmVLMVThB0) from Chemist Warehouse is coming today.
Reply ASAP with 2 or 3:
"2" Someone will be home
"3" If no one's home take to a Post Office

SCAM! I haven’t brought anything from chemist warehouse!

Aus post advising of delivery All good.

Caller: Australia Post

This is a guine nubmer from AuPost. Reference: https://auspost.com.au/text-your-choice
It is so weird that these many people claim that it's a scam.

It is clearly spam

Caller: Australia Post

I've received several texts from this number, with the mypo.st etc link in each which all go to the Australia Post Tracking website.

All texts have been legitimate deliveries via Australia Post couriers.

Caller: 0448 008 003

This is definitely AusPost’s number but be careful. Sometimes scammers are able to show this number while sending text messages.

AusPost will only ever ask you to enter the number 1, 2 or 3. That’s it.
No yes or no questions. No links with your tracking details.

If you are told to click the link for https://mypo.st/(numbers and letters) DO NOT click the link.

Protect yourself and call on message them online. Stay safe.

Scam don’t believe these people saying it’s legit. All my genuine Auspost texts come from the same number, not this one!! And have different links

sms scam. don't click

Caller: AusPost

Legit/Genuine contact.

Seems like AusPost have updated the SMS they send. States to reply "Y" if you are not going to be home. But included a https link to mypo.st/ tracking site.

All seems above board to me.

As all other comments, noticed the dot in the word post and assume is a scam.

Caller: Scam

Received a text to say I was receiving wine and it was delivered. I tried ringing the number and wasn’t answered. I looked up Aust post tracking number and the number was incorrect. Finally after 2 days I rang the wine company and they confirmed they didn’t send any wine. Not sure what this person gets out of this?

Got an SMS from this number this morning - with suspicious link - confirmed with AUST POST that this is definitely a SCAM and is not a number that is used by them at all.

Caller: Auspost sms is LEGIT (it is not a scammer)

OK people. It IS legit. Its been this way for a long time. If it something that requires a signature and cant be left on the doorstep or mailbox, then they will send you a message to get you to select a number (1 or 2) to advise if you will be home, or if not home they will take it to the post office. Please stop saying its Spam or or a scam when it isn't that at all
