Scam text claims to be from US Postal Service
Scammers know you spend a lot of time on your phone and keep bombarding you with text messages, just hoping you'll fall for one of them.
A recent scam text claims to be from the U.S. Postal Service.
But if you look at the sender's information at the top, it's not the USPS.
The message asks you to click on a link to update your information because the postal service is having trouble delivering a package. There's no way of knowing what would happen if you clicked that link.
The postal service does offer free tools to track specific packages, but you are required to either register online or initiate a text message and provide a tracking number.
USPS will not send customers text messages or emails without you first requesting the service with a tracking number, and it won't contain a link.
Scammers hope you won't see the signs and just click the link.
Take a second, take a look, and don't become a victim.
