Scamming - Fraud
The "Track My Parcel 05" text message below, which claims a delivery guy was at your door a couple of hours ago, is a scam. The fake text is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick recipients into clicking on the link in it. The link goes to a fake or phishing Royal Mail website that steals personal and credit card information. Therefore, recipients are asked not to follow the instructions in it.
Hi First name, our delivery guy was at your door a couple of hours ago! You weren't at home! We still have your parcel available! When do you want us to return with it? Inform us now link: trackmyparcel05.com/k7-IH I DID NOT CLICK ON LINK!!

I just received a text message from 253-350-5553 which reads as follows:"I have 2 wrong delivery attempts at your house (house icon) . Before we can try again, we need you to triple check your shipping details on the next page: trackmyparcel05.com/nqK7P"I called the phone number and it said that no voicemail had been set up yet. Probably a burner phone anyway.Fortunately, these people are so stupid they don't know how to write a proper English message about a FAILED rather than "wrong" delivery attempt.
I did get 2 mms messages yesterday from 504-421-1960. The message stated, "I have 5 failed delivery attempts at your address (picture of a house) then my name. Before we can retry, we need you to check your shipping details on the next page: trackmyparcel05.com/ziR6N"I responded," Delivery of what?, WHich company is it from and to which address are you trying to deliver?" Waited a bit and then said, "I have to report as fraud if you cannot answer."No response.. of course.
