There have been several fraudulent messages in the name of Posti.
One of the messages will be sent to e-mail. The recipient of the message is asked to sign “new important message”. There is a scam link at the end of the email.
Phishing messages are used for data fishing. Scam messages should not be opened, but should be deleted without opening them.
If you have given your card or online banking information, contact your bank immediately and then report it to the police.

That’s what they are
According to Posti, messages may contain Posti’s logo, colors or other illustrations.
The most common scam messages are SMS or email scams.
The contents of scam messages vary by Posti. They often tell about a shipment that has arrived, a prize won, or an unpaid shipping fee.
A text message scam can arrive on the phone in the same message thread and as if from the same sender as genuine arrival notification messages.
Some scam messages contain a real Posti tracking number. The scam message informs about a package that has arrived at Helsinki Central Station and asks to confirm the delivery address in order to receive it. The message redirects to a website where you are asked to make a payment.
If you are not expecting a package or if you doubt the notification you received, you can check with Posti’s customer service.
Posti does not use Apple ID identification upon arrival of a parcel shipment, so if you ask for that identification, it is identity fishing.
