Andorra Police Warn of SMS Scam Posing as Package Delivery Alerts

Andorra Police have warned residents of a new SMS scam impersonating package delivery notifications. The fraudulent messages, which are circulating widely, pretend to alert recipients about parcels held due to missing information.

Authorities posted the alert on their social media accounts yesterday, noting that the texts arrive from various senders. They claim a shipment is detained and include a link urging users to update personal details to prevent delays or extra charges. The aim is to create urgency, prompting hasty action that leads to phishing attempts.

Police stressed that these are entirely fake messages forming part of a broader fraud campaign. They advised the public not to click any links, share personal or banking information, or make payments. Instead, residents should mark the texts as spam and delete them immediately to reduce risks and limit spread.

No legitimate courier service requests sensitive data via SMS, officials added. The warning follows similar patterns in recent scams but focuses specifically on delivery-related pretexts. Further details on affected areas or victim numbers were not provided.
