Scam : Australia Post

I received both a text and an email within minutes if each others purporting to be from Australia Post.
1/ I am not expecting a parcel from anyone
2/ The email has a fine print detail at the very bottom stating the source is Flower Mound Texas. I get a lot of scam emails with Flower Mould Texas in the bottom detail.
The senders email address is definitely not AP when you check it. Each time I get one of these emails the sender address (double click on the sender detail, is different. Yesterdays sender detail was “Distribution centre”<[email protected]

3/ the text’s sender number is a a standard mobile number not a definitive email number. +61468918945
Telling me to access www.auspost-help.city

I screen print these texts and emails before deleting them and sending them to the post office. See -

Hi, @Dswife! This is quite frightening. There are so many AusPost scams nowadays, and they can be quite convincing... So thank you for issuing this warning. I highly recommend you report it to the ACCC's Scam Watch division too: https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam. Let's all work together to put an end to these scammers!
