Scam · pretends to be Canada Post
Fake Canada Post undelivered parcel text
The real message, with personal details covered.
What happens
Scammers text pretending to be Canada Post, saying a parcel could not be delivered due to an incomplete address. The link leads to a fake site that steals personal and card details.
Warning signs
- Fake website address The link 'post-canada.top' is not a real Canada Post address; real ones end in canadapost.ca or postescanada.ca.
- Odd sender address The message came from a random-looking iCloud email address, not from Canada Post.
- Asked to reply Y Scammers ask you to reply 'Y' or copy the link so the link works and their message gets past phone filters.
- Vague parcel story It says a package could not be delivered because of an 'incomplete address' but gives no tracking number or details.
- Pushy, strange instructions Telling you to exit and reopen the message or paste the link into Safari is not how real companies write.
- Unknown sender Your phone warns that the sender is not in your contacts.
How this scam works
- You get a text saying a parcel could not be delivered.
- The message asks you to reply or open a link to 'confirm your address'.
- The link opens a fake Canada Post page that looks real.
- The page asks for your name, address, and then a card payment for a small 'redelivery fee'.
- The criminals steal your card details and personal information and may use them for further fraud.
What to do
- Don't click the link and don't reply, not even with 'Y'.
- Take a screenshot to keep as proof. Report it to Canada Post through their official website or app, and to your local police.
- Tell your family and friends about this fake message so they don't fall for it.
- Then delete the message and block the sender.
