The Sri Lanka Police has warned the public of rising online scams, stating that fraudsters are sending fake SMS messages claiming delivery issues and urging users to click suspicious links. The Police urge the public to verify orders directly, avoid sharing sensitive details, beware of phishing sites, and treat such SMS links with caution to protect personal data and financial security.

Scam alert — You may receive a message asking you to provide your details to deliver a parcel. The link you are directed to may look like an SLPOST website, but it is fake and uses a fraudulent web address. The correct website is https://t.co/X0kbBLd7Ur. Please be aware! I suspect this information may have been leaked from Pronto Lanka delivery service, as someone used my number incorrectly for a parcel. Since then, I have been receiving these messages.
🚨WARNING: SCAM IN PROGRESS🚨
Please be aware of fraudulent messages circulating. Do NOT share your personal or financial information with anyone claiming to represent us without verifying first. Stay safe and report suspicious activity immediately.

Sri Lanka Police warn of rising online fraud through platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook, where scammers lure buyers with unusually low prices, create urgency, demand advance payments, and then disappear. The public is urged to avoid deposits, use Cash on Delivery or hand‑to‑hand transactions, verify sellers via video calls, and remain vigilant to protect against such schemes.
Imposter accounts are still out there. For accurate, up-to-date info, always check @USAmbSL and official Embassy channels. I don’t have official accounts on Facebook, Instagram, or Telegram—so if you see one, it’s not me. Stay alert & avoid engaging with fakes.

Imposter accounts pretending to be me & other U.S. Embassy officials are on the rise. For our Embassy’s most accurate and up-to-date information, skip the fakes and go straight to the source. My official Ambassador X account is @USAmbSL. I do not have accounts on Facebook, Instagram, or Telegram.
Media Note: https://t.co/ziF1fTBmVj Stay alert. Don’t engage with impersonator accounts.
