Was expecting a courier from India post when I got this text via imessage. Clicked on it since it appeared genuine.
Scam/Fraud Info:
So I was expecting a courier via Indiapost during which had received the iMessage text. I anxiously opened the link and it looked very genuine. They asked to update my address, which I did. And in the next step they asked for an amount(25 Indian rupees) since they had to “reship” the parcel to my address. I entered my Debit card details but the website said they only accept credit cards(red flag number 1). Next I entered my credit card details and I received OTP for transaction of 943.20USD for aliexpress. Immediately realised what was going on and called my bank and informed them about the scam, and ofcourse never entered the OTP. The bank blocked my card but the scammers kept trying to withdraw money, thankfully didn’t lose any money.
