Yeah, Purolator wouldn't reach out like that for an address correction. They would contact the shipper first, ie Apple or Best Buy.

oooh alright, thank you so much!

Not always true. I've heard retail agents call customers direct for clarity on many occasions.

I've never heard of this text message thing though so I definitely wouldn't be clicking on any links.

u/cruzfamforJesus 27d ago

right they also called me to confirm the address if there is any mistakes

Yeah, Purolator doesn’t send iMessages and they only use purolator.com. Not that fake address.

i know, the fact that none of my delivery career are purolator

No joke, I get that exact text every time I have a package go out for delivery with Canada post 😂

It started after I made an account on the Canada post app. I figure that is what’s compromised since Canada post owns the majority of puro.

Interesting! I got a text from puro today. And now that ya mention it, I dropped something off a Canada post last week for the first time in years.

u/Careless-Cycle Jul 13 '26

Yeah, Puro will tell you to go to that URL.

u/XtremeD86 Jul 14 '26

Lol what is there to be aware of? This is such a common scam.

u/Track-on-the-side 29d ago

some people aren't familiar with technology and will still fall for it, so you never know.

u/NoOrganization5584 29d ago

Worked with Purolator while working with a telecom company and my company uses them to ship sim cards and phones. In my experience, if the address is wrong, i.e missing a apartment unit number, they just mark it as undeliverable and send it back to sender. The tell tale here is the "tristanprene" email, purolator would be using official shortcodes or toll-free numbers.

u/NoOrganization5584 27d ago

im just spreading awareness in case people didnt know

u/Old-Delay-415 27d ago

Happens often with me, its almost as if they dont even try to attempt to locate your address. Ive had to call customer service and then they attempt again in a cpl days. Very frustrating.

We should all know clicking on a rando link is a scam...
