Reminds me of the “U.S. Post: you have a USPS parcel being cleared, due to the detection of an invalid zip code address, the parcel can not be cleared, the parcel is temporarily detained, please confirm the zip code address information in the link within 24 hours” message I got with the totally not suspicious domain “usps.com-service.webnw.top/us” and the unnecessarily confusing instructions “Please reply with a Y, then exit the text message and open it again to activate the link, or copy the link into your Safari browser and open it”

The complicated instructions are probably because certain SMS clients don’t allow clicking URLs from contacts you’ve never sent messages to.
Ok that makes sense
