While perusing the Forums here, I received an interesting text message from someone claiming the USPS is holding my delivery at their "warehouse" and I need to confirm my address. There followed some rather detailed instructions for complying, and the address of the sender of this suspicious looking text was a dot com. Fat chance that I'd respond, marquisetristan (name on address at Gmail.)
I still have a landline (I know, I know!), and I use that # as the contact # for nearly all my online shopping, incl. Amazon, HSN, and the Q. Never get a text from any of them, just email, but this text came to my cell #.
Just another sport phisher casting their line. They did however tell me the postal service wishes me a good day!

I've gotten those dumb text too. 🙄 Oh, and I also still have a land line and I make no apologies for it. LOL
Along with the postal service 😉 I wish you a good day.

I have received texts about a UPS order being sent to a UPS inside of Michael's here in my town. We do have a Michael's and they have a UPS ship and drop off inside the store. All they want is you to click their link, Nope. Especially since I had no outstanding orders I was waiting on from anyone.

@laluzdelmundo. This is a well-publicized scam. I've heard it discussed on tv several times. Ignore it.

I get maybe 5 or 6 of the very same thing via e-mail everyday and have for months.
Also, I receive notification that my Sirius radio enrollment has run out and cc info needed to reactivate it.
I get phishing e-mails from Kroger too. We have no Kroger stores in my area.

I got a voice mail from Spectrum yesterday about a deal that would take 50% off my bill but it expired "today". I don't even have Spectrum. Also, the number they used belongs to some 95-year old man in Minneapolis, but the number they gave me to call was completely different.

Wow! You have been QUITE fortunate if this is your first time receiving one of those annoying texts!😄 They ALWAYS increase after I sign up with a reputabe business, but must accept their marketing preferences.😐 I sometimes get them from cloned USPS, UPS and FedEx also but they are automatically forwarded to my junk folder. At least this was a KIND phisher!😄
That closing sentence made me smile.😁
~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I get emails about packages from every major shipping company, USPS, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc. They all say the same thing. "There's a package waiting for me or one that couldn't be delivered". They go directly to my junk mail folder on my Apple computer with all other scam and phishing emails. I delete them all without ever opening them.

DH received a text wanting our address to deliver a package. We didn't have anything on order at the time.
If we order something they already have our shipping address?
Some places still use our home number but we don't have it any longer. I'm not giving them my cell #. If I have to give a number they can have our old home number. LOL Sometimes I use 000-000-0000 & it takes it.
When DH filled out everything for Medicare & SS he gave them his number. I told him your not giving them my number???
