Australia Post is warning the community of widespread scam text messages telling customers there are problems delivering a package, or that a parcel won’t be delivered “due to unverified shipping address.”

Richmond District Police said the text messages use AusPost as the sender name (which means it appears in the same text thread as other legitimate AusPost communications) and asks you to click on a link.

“The link leads to a fake website with the Australia Post logo, asking you to verify your address and provide a payment,” RD Police said.

 “By entering these details, the scammer can steal your personal and financial information.

“You should delete the message.”
