Got a sms from this number on Saturday morning, with the 61 international code in front.
Tells me that parcel AU-73M2OC29 to my phone number is pending at the distribution center (American spelling)
To authorise parcel delivery and other options click this link: 7n9.me/2Fu3U which takes me to the Google home page.

Caller: 0498 534 721

I received a text from this number on 30/3/21 telling me there was a package for me. I clicked on the link via my iphone and it took me through a very believable set-up with TNT and fed ex icons that asked me to nominate a time for delivery. Finally it asked for $3 "customs fee" which I didn't pay. Clearly a scam.

Received a text about some parcel of mine being held. Haven't ordered anything so scammy scam scam. Good to be able to google and see others with the same issue.

~~DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!! if you have, you will now have malware on your phone~~

I delete these as soon as they arrive and add number to blocklist

It was an SMS that said my order has been held at their forwarding depot and asked me to follow instructions on a web page. Did not click, obvious spam

Scam message about a parcel. Wasnt expecting any parcels. I have received a few of these messages in the past. I just dont bother going to a link. If in doubt ring the courier company.

Caller: Text message

Telling me I had an item waiting for delivery and I just needed to enter my credit card details to pay a $3 customs fee 🙄. Originated in Cypress

Received text from this number that sent me to a site with genuine looking TNT FEDEXxpress logo with a tracking code to authorise delivery - and asking payment for a $3 custom fee. IT'S A SCAM!!! I checked on TNT's internet site - the tracking code is fake if it starts with "FEX" and end with "GB". I called TNT and they confirmed it's a fake tracking code and a scam.

0498 534 721 txt me saying click on the code for my parcel details. DONT DO IT

Yep, had the same message from the same number, wanting $3 to release my order.

Got this message goes to a parcel site TNT-
Says you need to pay $3 customs, asks for name address etc. (didn’t provide it)

Hello - Your order has been held at our forwarding depot. Please follow instructions here: http://v0i.me/2kueW

SMS with a link, blocked and deleted. Definitely a scam.

SCAM!!!! Be careful. do not get tempted and give your details. The text message will say you have parcel and you need to pay $3 for custom duty. It will tempt you by showing it is an iphone 12 pro too. DO NOT FALL for it.

Received a text message from this number - definitely a scam. Referred to my order being held at their forwarding depot, and requesting that I follow the instructions at a given web address. Apart from never placing any orders online, had a friend who is a cyber security expert check - confirmed malware link. Recommend anyone getting a message from this number to delete and block.
