According to Adam Cartwright, the Chief Information Security Officer at Australia Post, “Scammers take advantage of our hectic lives and the anticipation and rush that come with expecting a delivery.”

“The safest way to track your deliveries is directly through the official AusPost app.

“If you’re expecting a parcel, don’t click on suspicious links or respond to unexpected messages — always check the app first.”

AusPost said the latest scams are part of the “Darcula” phishing service operation.

The service allows scammers to rent a cybercrime toolkit that mimics well-trusted brands in order to steal customer data.

Dracula’s techniques can bypass telecommunications and network scam filters, making them harder to block, according to AusPost.

Nine in 10 Australians have received a scam text or call.

Nearly three-quarters reported being the target of scams mimicking parcel delivery services.

Australia Post emphasizes that it will never contact you via phone, text, or email to request personal or financial details such as passwords, credit card information, or account specifics.

They will also never request payment from you over call, text or email.
