First Post of curiosity
Australia Post and SMS scam - how do they (scammers) know so much?
I wonder if someone has dug to the bottom of this, so today I had this situation again - where it was very clear that there is some data leak, somewhere 馃
So there is indeed a parcel coming in today from reputable seller (Adidas - yes yes I do need those new running shoes!), and almost EXACTLY at the estimated time of the delivery - I got this SMS message (see the screenshot).
I have not ordered anything for quite a while now, and didn't receive anything like that for all that time, so this is definitely NOT a coincidence - they knew when to send it, and where to.
How do they know - is there an unrestricted API endpoint somewhere where scammers can simply iterate on the tracking ID, and get all the details about me ?
There were couple threads about this already, so this has been happening for a while - https://www.reddit.com/r/australian/comments/15gnw65/australia_post_leaks_my_mobile_number_change_my/
Anyone else seen this before?
