Key Points

  • Fraudulent SMS claim incomplete address blocks parcel delivery, pressuring clicks on malicious links.

  • Police advise ignoring messages and using official apps/websites to verify.
  • Part of ongoing SMS fraud pattern exploiting trust in delivery services.

Cybercriminals are targeting Andorra residents with SMS scams impersonating courier companies, authorities have warned.

Multiple people have reported receiving fraudulent text messages that urge recipients to click a suspicious link to update their delivery address. The messages claim a parcel cannot be delivered due to an incomplete address and threaten further action if the information is not provided promptly.

The alert comes from Diari d'Andorra, which noted the ongoing attempts on 4 February 2026. No specific courier company was named in the reports, but the tactic relies on creating urgency to trick users into engaging with the malicious link.

Police and cybersecurity experts recommend ignoring such messages and not clicking any links. Residents should verify deliveries directly through official company apps or websites instead.

This follows a pattern of SMS-based fraud in Andorra, where scammers exploit trust in familiar services to steal personal data or install malware. Authorities have not released details on the number of victims or whether arrests have been made.
