Recently, many have reported receiving WhatsApp messages from an unknown number claiming that they have a package pending, and they need their address to proceed with delivery.
The message is then followed by a link to a courier service tracking application page.
GD Express shared on their official Facebook page, a screenshot of the message that many people have been receiving.
“We would like you to take note of this scam alert. Do not click on any unauthorised link or messages!” they said in the caption.

The link will redirect you to a page that says you have a package from Amazon pending. GD Express has clarified the situation in a press statement and said: “It has been brought to our attention that there are individual(s) who have been using the GDEX webpage tracking application for their scamming activities.”
“We, GDEX group, hereby confirm that these scamming activities have no relation to us an any of our subsidiaries. We would like to caution you to keep vigilant and take reasonable precautions to protect yourself from being scammed,” they added.
