Woman mails new iPhone to scammers within hours of delivery
Original: Woman mailed away new iPhone to scammers less than two hours after delivery
A woman in the United States was tricked into mailing her brand-new iPhone to scammers less than two hours after it was delivered, according to WSB-TV. Reports say she fell for a phishing message impersonating a delivery company, which persuaded her to return the device to an address controlled by fraudsters. The case highlights how quickly criminals exploit fake parcel notifications to steal newly purchased phones.
Why now: The speed of the scam, only hours after delivery, makes it a striking warning about phishing messages impersonating delivery services.
