Fake UPS text messages: what are the risks?

Good evening,

This afternoon I received this via SMS:


I clicked on the link that said there was a problem with my package being blocked and that I needed to pay. BUT, I didn't go any further, I closed the page and obviously did not enter any personal information or bank details.

However, I would like to know if simply visiting the site could compromise the security of my iPhone?

Thank you.

    Hello.

    No risk at all, their only goal was to take advantage of your gullibility (if it existed in the situation) to squeeze money out of you.

      Great, thanks, that reassures me!

      Still, it's disturbing to receive that with a "clean" link in https.
