Canada has been getting these scams for well over a decade. People still fall for it even though it’s BRUTALLY OBVIOUS ITS A SCAM. Why would Canada Post text you?
A lot of the phone scams seem to target Chinese. There’s some that tell you what’s up in English and Chinese (which is a sign right there, as English and French are the official languages) in a recording and then say hit 1 for English and 2 for Chinese.
I’d occasionally hit 1 for shits and giggles and act nervous about the warrant or my package stuck in customs or whatever they were trying to say. Early on, there would be someone trying to engage. First time buddy asked my name and I pointed out that he was trying to contact me so he should already know. Buddy got mad and demanded why I hit the button instead of hanging up lmao. But eventually it would just disconnect if you hit the English option. And I don’t know why Chinese so attempts to troll them on that line didn’t last long.
Those calls seem to come in waves. Or maybe trolling them a bit gets them to add you to their do not call list and I only get them when someone starts a new scamming shop. I’d like to think I’m annoying them more than they are annoying me lol.
Ive been getting these texts everyday for the past couple weeks. Always from a different overseas #. I always block and delete, but its still happening.
Waste their time by engaging but giving fake information. I mentioned this in another comment, but the volume of scam shit I get went down after I started engaging with it and making them filter me out rather than me filtering myself out like the scams are intended to do.
