The SMS say i got a failed delivery and need to reschedule another delivery and link me to a page that need fill in personal particulars.

just nice these few days i was expecting a parcel delivery from online shopping.

the sms and link (especially the link) looks VERY genuine but then i noticed the tracking number they give in the sms and in the link is different so i decided to call singpost to verify the sms and link.

guess what? after singpost help to check turns out IT WAS REALLY A SCAM *******.

没想到 i 一世英明 still almost fell to scam sms.

but can tell from the link is not official singpost website.

I got the SingPost fake sms but the engrish in it was so bad that I immediately realised it was scam.
