IPS Scam - International Parcel Service Parcel Text Notification

The IPS Service text parcel notifications below are scams. The fake IPS messages, which claim the recipient's parcel has been stopped for unpaid customs fees, are scams created by cybercriminals to steal their potential victims' personal and financial information. Therefore, recipients of the same text messages are asked not to click the link in them.

The IPS / International Parcel Service Scam

"We tried to deliver your parcel IPS016448296CA, but there is an unpaid customs fee. Please follow the instructions here: 08o.me/Xw1OZ"

"There is an update on ur parcel. Item stopped due to unpaid customs fee. Follow the instructions here: https://bit.do/fLNJD"

I got another fake text from IEIPS-SMS: "016448296GB" and was taken to a fake IPS (International Parcel Service) website, which automatically entered the so called tracking number and then wanted my personal details and €1.50 for a customs fee. The link in the text is "j5l.website/Xljmb".

Pity government has lost control of finances in banks. Banks should give us the right to use the veryfication system on all transactions out of our accounts. And even give us the right to use a delay sandbox where money stays in bank for x number of days where people can stop a payment. It would stop so many problems

Also received an sms saying my shipment will be returned, and I need to pay R35 for it to be delivered. When I take the option of collecting the parcel it stops at the option, it does not give information about where to collect it.
