I am selling one item on gumtree. one of the buyer wants to trade via Auspost. Is there a service which allows us to sell items via Auspos ? I have also received SMS from auspost that buyer has paid for the item and SMS takes me to websites Mod: removed malicious URL

Not sure if this is legit and when i click on it, it takes me to page where i can see buyer's address (could be fake) and asks for card details.

    Obvious scam. So obvious I hope you're just a troll.

    Not sure if this is legit

    Really?
    Australia Post probably knows how to spell "delivery" (despite not even being their domain

    Also what SEO has ozbargain done to make this place the go to for asking dumb 'is this a scam' questions for new users?

    To be honest this is probably a scammer trying some zero day exploit on OzB. Don't click on the link.

    No way that's a legit Austpost site. Think it's probably the scam shown here for Oct 21: https://auspost.com.au/about-us/about-our-site/online-securi…

      Did you really need a bunch of internet strangers to tell you it's fake?
