Don't click this new scam text message

A new scam text message is making the rounds and I even received one this morning. The message claims that your package is on the way from DHL, a delivery service and to track the package you can click the link provided.

This link changes depending on the day it is sent with mine being different to the ScamWatch example provided below. If you don't have anything coming, don't click a link you receive at any time, ever.

Scary statistics re phone scams this year.

Australians have lost $63.6 million to scams involving unsolicited calls or text messages so far this year, according to the ACCC's Scamwatch program. Of the more than 213,000 reports received by the Scamwatch website so far this year, more than half have been phone-related.

That's 30 per cent of the $211 million Australians have lost to all scams so far in 2021, compared with phone scams making up 27% of all losses last year and 23% in 2019.
