In November last year, a lot of the people reported on a fake SMS scam. The fake SMS was claiming to be Pakistan Post. This scam told users their delivery would not arrive. It asked them to update their address. It provided a malicious link for this.
This scam continues today. Many users report these fake messages. The scammers still use the same tricks. The SMS pretends to be from Pakistan Post. It asks you to update your address. It uses a malicious link for this.
Pakistan Post never asks for online payments. They do not ask for changes to your order through SMS. They never use malicious links. If there is an issue with your order, the store contacts you directly. They use their official channels. They do not use random phone numbers.
Beware from Malicious Links:
