Transnational Alert for iPhone users are learnt to be receiving scam messages via iMessage regarding package/courier. Clicking on suspicious links may be avoided and read receipts may be disabled for such messages.

Do not click on the link if you see the following message in your inbox.
“Your package has arrived in the warehouse and we tried to deliver it twice. But due to incomplete information of your address, we are unable to deliver. Please update your contact details within 48 hours by clicking on the link. If this is not done, the package will be sent back to the company.”

When a user clicks on the fraudulent link and enters their details, they are redirected to a website that mimics the official India Post site. This fake site displays a random tracking ID and a delivery failure notification, urging the user to update their address.

The link is designed to work only on mobile devices, not on desktops, which can be a clue to verify its authenticity.

To protect against these scams, users should verify the authenticity of the sender by checking the email address, phone number, or other means.
