Yet another scam.

Post by Anarita John »

Today received a text message from the Cyprus Post Office, in Greek. Google translate said a delivery had failed because of a mismatch in our address and they wanted us to give them our address. Looked official but number from was +91, in other words India, so definately a scam. Could have easily fallen for it as we are expecting a parcel.
Just beware of messages and always look at the senders code. Do not give any personal information away requested by text, phone calls or email. Stay safe.

We could have easily fallen for it as we are expecting an official package from a Cyprus organisation, who had our phone number. The Cyprus Post Office does not have our phone number. This was a text message, not a whatsapp one.
