Scam
Sunshine Coast RCMP have received a number of reports from concerned citizens regarding a Canada Post parcel scam. Text messages are sent out purportedly from Canada Post stating that a parcel is being held by "border security" and requests that the user press "1" to speak to an agent or click on a link. This action will then lead to the user being told that an item has unpaid shipping fees and will attempt to get you to click on a link to pay the fees. These messages should be deleted and not actioned.
