Andorran police issued a warning on Thursday via social media about a phishing scam using fraudulent text messages that claim a package awaits delivery due to an incorrect address.
The messages direct recipients to click a link to update their details, but the site is fake and aims to harvest personal data. Officers urged people not to access the link, provide any information or share credentials, and to delete the message immediately.
The alert, posted yesterday, follows reports of these SMS messages circulating widely on phones across the principality. The Policia d'Andorra emphasised in its statement: no package exists, and recipients' addresses are not faulty.
This latest fraud attempt adds to ongoing SMS-based scams targeting Andorran users. Police have not disclosed further information on the operation's source or its extent. Residents are advised to stay alert to avoid falling victim to data theft.
