SMISHing scam SMS watch out and how to report scams

My wife received an SMS and it looked sort of legitamate . . . BUT . . . 

 SMS received "There is an update on your parcel. Item stopped due to unpaid customs fee. Follow the instructions here: zm7.link/R5U26" 

Remember, legitimate organisations should NOT send you messages with links to click on. 

AND, what is more, zm7.link looks a bit dodgy, right!? 

 DO NOT CLICK on these SCAM links, unless you want to enter fake info and annoy the scammers ;). 

Visiting that link brings you on to https://number.userinfotool.cloud/updaterie/yadda/yadda There are fake UPS pages there which brings you through an easy process selecting delivery to Home or Work etc etc 

The fake SMS and first fake website looks like this:

After a few clicks you are brought to here:

A fake 1 euro (or perhaps it will cost you alot more!)  iPhone offer entering payment details.
