Is this a scam?

I came home from work today and found a DPD your parcel has been missed note in our communal hallway.

This evening I got a text from an ordinary number claiming to be from DPD saying my parcel couldn’t be delivered and to click on this link.

I deleted the text straight away. As far as I know I haven’t ordered anything although a few weeks ago I tried to order a new wifi box and the order didn’t go through. I contacted now tv and they confirmed there was no order on my account and no money has been taken and I haven’t received any confirmation emails so I think this order definitely didn’t go through. Other than this I haven’t placed any orders recently.

Could the DPD note be a scam or could it just be for another neighbour and it’s a coincide that I then got the text, would a DPD text ever come through as an ordinary 07 number?
