While searching online to track my cargo, I encountered what appeared to be an official shipping page. Believing it was legitimate, I entered my tracking number. Immediately afterward, I received an SMS with a confirmation code. This raised my suspicion, so I did not enter the code. Upon further investigation, I discovered that if I had entered it, I would have been automatically subscribed to a FitMe service at a cost of ₺229 per month, charged directly to my Turkcell bill.
