Your Package Will Be Returned if You Don’t Update Address? PIB Issues Warning to India Post Payments Bank Customers on Phishing Scams

A new scam is exploiting online shoppers by sending fake delivery failure messages posing as India Post. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has warned users that India Post never sends messages asking to update addresses via links. The scam message claims a package delivery failed due to an incomplete address and urges users to update their details through a malicious link. Clicking the link leads to a fake India Post website, prompting users to enter personal information. Hackers then install malware, gaining access to sensitive data. Notably, the fraudulent link only works on mobile devices, not desktops. Consumers are advised to verify suspicious messages and avoid clicking unknown links to protect their data. Govt Providing Free Laptops to Students? PIB Fact Check Debunks Viral Message.
