An Post is warning customers about a sophisticated scam that’s doing the rounds
Do not click on the link.
That’s the advice An Post is offering anyone who received a dodgy looking text message claiming to be from the national postal service today.
A number of people contacted An Post to report that they or a family member had received a text message saying they had either missed a delivery to their home or were required to pay unpaid postage on a package.
People who received the message report that the link opens up a scam website designed to mirror the official An Post site.
Hi Aoife, we hope you are well and safe. Yes, this is a scam message that turns out to be circulating around multiple customers of ours today. DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK! An Post would never ask a customer to confirm personal details or provide debit/credit card details –
