"Your package couldn't be delivered. Update your address here." Sounds legit, right. You did order something last week. Scammers are counting on exactly that.
1. Phishing: The Fake Delivery Guy
- The Vibe: Someone in a courier uniform knocks on your door. Looks real. But he's not here to drop off a package. He's here for your keys.
- The Simple Example: You get an SMS asking you to pay a Rp5,000 "redelivery fee." You tap, enter your card details, and Rp5 million disappears instead.
- Red Flags: Urgency ("within 24 hours!"), tiny fees, weird typos, and messages you weren't expecting.
2. Fake Links: The Look-Alike Address
- The Vibe: It's like a shop sign that says "Indomarett." Close enough that you miss the extra T.
- The Simple Example: The link reads "shopee.co.id-promo.xyz." It starts with a name you trust, but the real owner is whatever comes right before the first "/". Here, that's a random "promo.xyz" site.
- Pro Tip: Don't tap at all. Open the official app or type the website yourself.
Real companies never rush you into paying through a random link. Today, scroll through your SMS and WhatsApp, delete any "delivery problem" messages, and block the senders. DO NOT engage with them for the sake of fun. They could lure you more and study the way you reply -- this could be used for further attack against you.
