phishing scam
A couple of days ago, I received a text message on my phone line that appeared to be from the courier company ENVIA Colombia. If you click the attached link, it takes you to a website identical to the real one, which tells you that you need to update your delivery information because your package could not be delivered. They ask for your ID and phone number. After passing this "filter," they tell you that you must make a payment of 12,000 COP to resend your package to the address you provide. Here's the interesting part: YOU MUST PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD AND PROVIDE ALL THE CARD DETAILS TO PROCESS THE PAYMENT. When the victim does this, it generates a supposed payment receipt and asks for the new address details to make the story more believable. After the supposed process is finished, they start draining the card until it has no money left.

It has been happening to me that I receive messages, supposedly from the company Envía, saying that I must enter a link. I have never entered it, first because it seems suspicious to me, and second, if one knows they are not expecting any package, why would they enter the link? Sometimes you also have to use common sense.
