    That is a scam, they probably send mass texts linked to tracking numbers that have a registered phone number.

      Don’t even need an associated list, just a random list of phone numbers. People online shop enough.

        Banking network engineer here: Never give out your login details. Not to your mom. Not to your brother. Not to me. Not to a company. Not to a random guy in India. Don’t do it.

          Agreed. However, there are services that login on your behalf. It is incredibly dumb but they exist.

          Just to be entirely clear, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR LOGIN

            Partners are the stupidest fuckers on the planet. I won’t name names, but I have sicced my governance team on fucking http (NO S) websites, usage of certificate pinning, public-facing databases! (Protected by a shitty 2000’s-era username+password login interface) transferring credit card numbers in CLEAR TEXT. I swear I’ve seen every possible idiotic move from partners.
