How the AusPost delivery scam works

The scammer's goal isn't the $1.50 'shipping fee' they ask for—it's your entire credit card number and the answers to your security questions.

Failed delivery or redelivery claim

Messages often claim a parcel issue to trigger immediate interaction.

Small fee request

Scammers use low payment requests to reduce suspicion before stealing payment details.

Urgent click pressure

Countdowns and urgent delivery threats are used to bypass careful verification.

Suspicious SMS links

Unofficial or lookalike domains in delivery texts are a strong phishing signal.

What IsThisSpam checks before you trust a sender

Quick verdicts are useful, but the real value is understanding why something looks safe, uncertain, or risky.

Domain mismatch

If sender and link destination do not align with trusted infrastructure, treat as high risk.

Payment capture flow

Requests for card details before verified delivery context are a key fraud pattern.

Scripted urgency

Repeated urgent-delivery language appears in many regional scam waves.

Mobile-first attack path

These scams are optimized for SMS click-through behavior on phones.
