These people just don't know when to quit. Any ideas how to stop these? Been getting a text message every morning for the last couple weeks.

obvious scam text for undelivered package

I've had mixed success in the past reporting their domain to their domain registrar (which you can find on who.is, whois.com, etc.). Except companies like GoDaddy don't check their abuse email and make you use their ticketing system which just says that they don't care about scams. But they'll just register new domains

An endless game of whac-a-mole then.

I'm afraid so. I got a scam message on Signal the other day as well (not like this one but some sick romantic scam)

Just for funsies I went to that URL... and it redirects to the real auspost.com.au but loads some scripts first.

I'm guessing it's capturing input but loading the real auspost page underneath? That's super sneaky.

Anyone read Chinese?

That's pretty scary.

Wow that is sneaky, I've never heard of them doing that before
