Smishing (SMS scam)
Phishing that arrives as a text. Postage, ATO, missed-parcel energy. The link is the problem.
Smishing is a scam delivered by SMS: a fraudulent text aiming for money, a login, or a hostile click. Australia sees a steady diet of fake postage, myGov, and bank messages. The number is cheap to spoof.
Do not use the link in the message. Use the app or a URL you already know. Report junk to your carrier. Work phones should not be the MFA device for the same people who click shipping texts.
