Fake SMS messages claiming to be the Swiss Post have been circulating since early March. The messages are sent from Swiss mobile phone numbers. These SMS messages claim that there are pending shipping costs to be paid before a package can be delivered and prompt the reader to open a link. Those who click the link are forwarded to a website that looks almost like that of the Swiss Post. There, they are requested to enter their credit card information. The police strongly recommends ignoring these messages and not to open the link by any means.
09.03.2022 –09.03.2022 – Pay attention to the following:
- The messages come from numbers beginning with 076.
- Be careful if you are prompted to make any additional payments before a package can be delivered to you.
- Ignore the SMS.
- Do not click the link.
- Report the sender’s number to the police so it can be blocked.
- If you disclosed your card information, have your card frozen.
- Report any stolen money to the police.
