An Post has issued a new warning to customers about another smishing scam via a text message.
Numerous people across the country are being hit with the latest scam which references an undelivered package and asks for payment on behalf of An Post.
Customers are contacted by a text message which mentions outstanding shipping costs and has a link to "Track your package".
The message links to a fraudulent An Post branded phishing site where customers are asked to provide personal information and card details.
An Post is asking customers to be scam aware if they receive these kinds of messages not only from them but also from other businesses, service providers and financial institutions.
In many cases the layout or language used in the messages are an indication they are not genuine.
