I have just had a text which says
Hi M
There is (1) package waiting for you! Check it here >> ***please do not post short links - especially ones suspected of being dubious in nature***
I'm not waiting for anything, nor have I ordered anything from Argos.
Am I right thinking it could be a scam?

If you aren't expecting anything and you know you haven't ordered anything then yes, it's more than likely a scam. I wouldn't click on the link.0

If you clicked the link they know you are the sort of person who clicks links in emails. You may want to remove the link.
If we click it then they will think you did because its likely to be tracked.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
