The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has warned the public to verify all parcel delivery and clearance messages directly with courier companies before making any payments, following a surge in fraudulent delivery scams during the festive season. In a public alert issued on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, the Authority cautioned against responding to unsolicited messages, especially those containing links, and urged people to be wary of paying for parcels they did not personally order or are not expecting. “Verify delivery claims directly with the courier company using official websites or contact numbers, not links provided in messages,” the CSA advised.
