- A large-scale scam is sending SMS messages impersonating the postal service, claiming parcels are pending due to a missing address and urging.
A large-scale fraud attempt is being sent to many Andorrans' phones, using messages that impersonate the postal service. The texts claim a parcel is pending delivery "because the address is missing" and urge recipients to take some action.
A circulated image on social networks shows the fake delivery notification. The campaign has appeared in recent days and is affecting numerous users across Andorra.
The wave of fraudulent messages coincides with Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales—and comes as the holiday season approaches—periods when online shopping and parcel deliveries increase.
Recipients are advised to be cautious with unexpected delivery notifications and to verify any requests through official carrier channels before responding or following links.
