IPS Scam - International Parcel Service Parcel Text Notification

Sms sent more than once

Shipment attempt 1/2 - ltem-208497103 needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: xsii.me/ZMJZhV

I got an sms from the IPS and this is the link they sent hxxp://hbvs.info/ZRFXpO it’s about delivery and an outstanding fee that needs to be paid

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

Shipment attempt 2/2 - ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: oppq.me/Z3EFJt

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.

Shipment attempt 2/2 - ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: uppf.me/Z356lb

This is the sms I received

This was my one today.

Shipment attempt 2/2 - ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: gbck.me/ZnxBhk

I received this one today…

Shipment attempt 2/2 - ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: xvvr.me/Zn8Po9

When clicking on the link, I get taken to a page with the URL: splendidgift.live

I am in South Africa.

Clearly a scam.

Shipment attempt 2/2 - Item-IPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: xaqp.me/ZncmkE is the one I got, I opened it and ignored it

I got this text

DELlVERY ALERT (!): consignment #LN78748371662ZA is ready for pick-up in: Mamelodi. Martha, check where to receive it here: odazoj.com/IwQyH1u

I got this message:

"Shipment attempt 2/2 - ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: ukzd.me/ZnjjuX"

Yep - definitely a scam

Got the exact same message, tracking number and link. Defo a scam

Same scam message:

Shipment attempt 2/2 - ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: ukzd.me/ZndYHF

Number it comes from seems untraceable. Usually I am able to identify where the number comes from.

I just received an SMS from IPS too. Saying that the parcel needs my attention and if not confirmed will be returned. They sent a link with an already filled in reference number. I didn't add any personal details.

Scam I got sms that I must fill in my details there's a delivery. Sms from no where. Strange

I got the same not once. They want personal information then you're required to pay something Luke R40. But on the fine print it says that an amount around $88 will be deducted monthly

I've got same message and it grap my attention because my full name is there

I clicked on the link but didnt provide information. What should I do? Can they get acess to my phone just by clicking the link

Received the same message, including my full name and with the same reference number as many here: IPS208497103ZA. The link was different though.

They sent me this #DELlVERY ALERT (!): consignment #CS78943819283ZA is ready for pick-up in: Cape Town. Elijah, check where to pick it up here: afaxaj.com/lWcZHGm

I got a similar message however it also stated my full name which made it seem more real as it is not a generic message. This is the first time I have received this SMS and the first time I ordered something from Overseas. It's scary how they got the timing right.

Shipment attempt 2/2 - Vanessa Pretoruis, ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: igadez.com/qpKzERN

Thanks for this. I am expecting parcels but this seemed suspicious. So I also went to the website link and got the opy-out page, then found this page. Much appreciated.

Another ‘version’ of this text received

Shipment attempt 2/2 - D***Hi***, ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: esilif.com/YaPMeFx

Just received a text message. Tried to go to the website in the link I got: iduzol.com and all it was was a page where you could opt out of their "client's database" by entering your mobile number and entering a Captcha code. Seemed weird to me and that is how I found this website after a quick search on Google. After a minute or so of receiving the text, it was automatically moved to the 'spam and blocked' folder by my service provider.

Just received a message. However what I don't understand is that the website you link to is secured. It doesn't warn you about anything?

Your order P0135920134-ZA was to be delivered on 02/12/2022 to your drop-off-point. Collect it here: ufekij.com/qdTfKXE

I got the message saying"shipment attempt 2/2 -wi pince, your item-ips208497103za, will be returned today, if not comfirmed; igadez.Com/a21czdk" what does this mean?

got the same msg

I need to have my 39.99 refunded immediately as I did not authorize this transaction.

Shipment attempt 2/2 - Nadia Pretorius, ltem-lPS208497103ZA needs your attention, and will be returned, if not confirmed: oxajub.com/0Ape77C

This was the message I got

I clicked on the link but didn't but didn't provide all the information they requested, could I be still scammed?

So I have clicked on the link and my mail adres, how do I cancel all so that they don't get acess to my info

I received a message saying my shipment will return if not confirmed

I received a scan message that read as follows:

Shipment attempt 2/2 - (my cellphone number), your ltem-lPS208497103ZA, will be returned 17-11-2022, if not confirmed: ohodiv.com/AxQixff

I received this sms today..

Another scam message

I tooo received such msg how can I stop those msg coming to me

I received the same message opened the link fill in my personal details but I did not fill in my card information.

Hi, I just received the message:

ltem-ID:IPS208497103ZA for my name is pending at distribution - for tracking: upiyici.com/cyC3zb6

I don't know of any parcel or expecting any parcel internationally...

Number received from: 0862406503

I got a sms, item IPS208497103ZA will be returned today if I dont pay customs fee. How would one know this is a scam?

I got a message saying parcel could not be deliverd and need to confirm adress but when clicked let's get started noughing hapoend . And there was some one in alk day they never knocked

This is definitely an Scam!

Got a text stating my parcel is onhold due to unpaid custome fee of R34 ...I also put my details to pay coz I had a pending delivery um ex

I have had 4 of these such emails but I'm waiting for a parcel. However don't know who is delivering it.

I've received 5 of these message alerts all saying the same thing

"unable to deliver your parcel (which is now at our Distribution Centre) due to an outstanding postage fee of $1.50. Please track and re-arrange once payment has been made.

I have opened the link but didn't give any further information

I’m waiting for my parcel but they say the same thing £150 needs to be paid I did ad £23 pound came out my account If I speak to IPS will they no more or have I been scammed

I’m waiting for my parcel but they say the same thing £150 needs to be paid I did ad £23 pound came out my account If I speak to IPS will they no more or have I been scammed

I have just received an email similar to others here, asking for a small customs fee and to arrange a time slot to pick up my parcel.

For anyone suspecting the same, check if they have used your full name. In my email, they used the first half of my email as the introduction. They also show none of my details in the email (address, for example), which the real delivery service would already have on file.

It's doing it on e-mails also under as IPS saying custom fee also. Keep getting them and they are driving me crazy now

Keep getting emails about a parcel asking for a payment one says £2 and the other says £1.65 and asked for your details when I go on to your website it says no parcel found

I clicked on the link bcos I'm expecting a parcel delivery. Entered my details but stopped short of confirming payment. I did however enter my details. Now they claim I signed up for certain memberships n wil b debiting my account. How do I stop this.

I had the same one saying no one in to take delivery asking me to click on the link I didn't

I have had one saying there was no-one in to sign for the parcel and to follow the link to book redelivery. I didn't open the link. I always check before I open yhese types of emails.

This scam seems to be running on https://myyscoot.com which is pretending (badly) to sell scooters

This happened to me few days. What can I do to stop this

I'm in the UK and I have clicked the link, should I call the police? What should I do?
