The Department of Posts has warned the public of a financial scam via SMS linked to local or foreign parcels.
The department said fraudsters were using a fake website similar to that of the Postal Department as well as a fake telephone number to carry out the scam.
The Postal Department clarified that Sri Lanka Post does not request bank card details via SMS.
The department has requested the public to remain vigilant and refrain from providing their personal bank details based on such fake SMS. (Newswire)
