Possible (probable) Scam - Unpaid import duties

I think someone is trying to use text messages in a scam.  I've tried to contact Customer Support but the new service is dreadful...

Text message looks to come from DHL Parcel and contains a tracking number an instructions to pay import duty using the site import-duty-dhl dot com.  The domain does exist but there is no record of the parcel on DHLs official site.

What also made me suspicious is the fact I received 7 messages in just under two hours.

I think it is a scam - hoping no one gets caught out by this.

Regards,
Mark
