SPAM General

I recently had an order from Amazon who deliver via AP, shortly after receiving the item I got two SMS spam texts the first saying I had a delivery from Amazon which was redirected as the courier could not deliver to the address supplied, albeit the same address I have used for all my Amazon orders also the Tracking Number was different to the number supplied by Amazon, and directed me to contact a mobile number or click on a site address. Suffice it to say as I had already received my latest Amazon order I knew it was spam, but how do they know I had a recent Amazon order, was it a random guess, I find that hard to believe as having just received the Amazon order.



The second one was for an item coming out of the UK,as I haven't ordered via the UK for over a month I blocked that immediately.


I have a spam blocker app unfortunately it doesn't capture everything, although I'm very vigilant come these types of SMS messages anyhow.
