"Your package is scheduled for delivery today, but we need to confirm your address. Please click the link to verify: [fake-link.com]."
At first, Sarah thought it was a legitimate message from the delivery service. The message seemed urgent, and she was eager to receive her package. Without thinking much, she clicked on the link.
The link took her to a website that looked almost identical to the official delivery service's site. A pop-up appeared, asking her to enter her personal information, including her name, address, and credit card details for "verification purposes."
Feeling a bit hesitant, Sarah paused. She remembered that she had never been asked to provide such information for a package delivery. Instead of entering her details, she decided to do a quick search online about the number that sent her the message.
To her shock, she discovered that the number was associated with multiple reports of scams. Realizing she had almost fallen for a scam, she quickly closed the website and reported the number to her mobile carrier.
