Ag don't be so pessimistic man, Scammers also got to eat...
(I get about 20 of these fake parcel messages a month... but the real money is with the fake government tender scams.)

I reckon there are hackers inside courier guy.

For example - I often don't order anything for weeks.
Then the day I do place an order, that same day or the next day, I receive these SMS's with the Phishing links.

Got one yesterday after reading this forum post, perhaps they are mining MBB forum for numbers and names.

Or using any of the numerous government database breaches, or simply trolling through the number ranges instead.

So far it’s just been a few front-end devs who paid delivery fees for parcels they never ordered.
