I run an e-commerce shop in France and get many support tickets of customers wondering why they have to pay an additional fee to receive their parcels. One day, one of the customers forwarded me a super obvious scam SMS asking to pay the additional fee but unfortunately, it wasn't obvious for her (most of my customers are over 40-50 years old). Seems like they are running these scams all over the world and probably found vulnerabilities in all the major post offices.

Not sure if they’re still a thing in France, but there was an epidemic of humans randomly calling French phone numbers claiming to be DHL or UPS or whoever about “a package being held”. Not even automated calls, actual people (probably in a lower-cost francophone country) doing the calls.
