Just received a messaged saying they tried to call on Tuesday but I missed the call and that I had one a prize. I checked and NO missed calls in Tuesday not even a private number. Also I don't recall entering any competitions lately. There was a link with letters and numbers. Reported as spam. Grrrrrr.

I received a text saying Hi (my name), I missed sending this out to you: (a link).
Googled the number just incase and saw all these comments. A dodgy scam!

They ask:

Please accept my apology for not getting this to you sooner: <link>

Reported as spam

Caller: 0480 294 715

Thieving bastards

Text message: "Ur delivery has been stopped at our depot. Please resolve the issue here: link."

I have things on order, so copied the link and checked it in a private window. Looks legit, but the URL is messy, and there's no information on where the parcel had come from. Asks for delivery address, and that's where I closed the page. the "Ur" in place of "your" should have been enough to bring up alarm bells.

Scammers are definitely getting more clever during 2020. I do wonder if people in customs are connected (as I do have an Amazon order that's just come through).

on sms. second notice. you have an important message we are looking for. ( got my name right) read it here. dodgy link.

I'm sorry elsa, I missed sending this out to you - then a dodgy link

Received a random SMS from this number saying word for word "Cancellation will take place unless action taken. Login to specify request and resubmit [LINK]" DO NOT CLICK ON LINK AND BLOCK

I received a message, using my name, which said "I saw this story and thought about you:", followed by a link. I didn't use the link in my phone, but put it into my search engine - it took me to an ABC online story. I blocked the number.
