SMS scams being run under ‘Pakpost’ has become one of the fraud schemes in Pakistan.
The fake SMS would tell users that their delivery package will not reach them unless they update their street address, and made them click on a malicious link to do so. It appears that this particular scam is running unchecked to this day, with many users reporting these fake messages online.
The screenshot shows that the scammers have not changed their tactics. The SMS still poses as an official Pakistan Post message, telling the user to update their address through a malicious link.
It is to be noted here that Pakistan Post never asks for online payments or changes in your order through SMS, certainly not with a malicious link involved. Additionally, if there is a problem with your order, the platform you ordered from typically contacts you directly with their official channels instead of using a random phone number.
