Expert Opinion
Approach calls like this with extreme caution, as they often signal sophisticated scams designed to extract personal information or payments. The scenario of a suspicious international parcel from Cape Town to Australia, paired with demands for your ID, raises red flags for a classic customs fraud tactic. Foreign accents and urgency are common ploys to pressure you into acting quickly without verification. Hang up immediately if you receive similar calls—do not engage or share details. Report to local authorities or your telecom provider to block the number and alert others. Verify any legitimate customs issues directly through official government channels, never via unsolicited calls. Protecting your data starts with skepticism toward unexpected alerts.
