Scams like these

another delivery scam ... but somewhat confused which language / country
Interesting the links for following up the package and the "unsubscribe" (why would this be an option for a legitimate delivery service ?) are the same.

Normal scam. Never unsubscribe from scams. Just confirms your identity.

Unsubscribing does nothing good, running the risk of installing malware or putting you into the next step of the scam … however, unfortunately, if they’ve sent you an email which didn’t bounce that’s enough of a confirmation - they know it’s a real address. It’s a case of more damned if you do, but still damned if you don’t.

Many email systems no longer bounce undeliverable mail in order to work against the assumptions of the early/mid-years of spam, so confirmation by lack-of-bounce is no longer a given, but might apply to large domains that still bounce (Gmail?).

No worries, I never try unsubscribe, although I was tempted on ones like below.
Does anyone else get these US Republican begging emails? I have been receiving in various forms for years. Clearly they got my address same way as other scammers.

I seem to be on some calling list. Got a couple of calls from "Telstra" last week regarding my compromised IP address. I'm with Optus but it is kinda fun keeping them on hold and on the call long enough to see how long before they hang up.
