The package delivery emails and text are as old as the hills.

And I don't ever respond to the survey queries even those supposedly coming from QVC.

I never click on any link provided in my emails even if the sender looks familiar. I always look for a way around it to find the purpose of the message with any link attached. It's just not safe any more.

I agree, but how do you get around emails or texts that offer no alternative but to click on their link, for instance, to confirm an appointment?  I hate doing that even if I know who sent them.  And they often are using a third party to make and confirm appointments.😠

I usually end up making phone calls to check if the emails are legit. Sometimes I will respond to an email and ask about it that way, too. It's a pita.

I'm getting a lot of, You Won... and credit card offers.

For sure.  

What really ticks me off are the emails I get from companies saying not to click on any links-- and then they require it themselves!

[chrystaltree]

I often receive messages ike that.  I've been getting them for months.  Some look very legit but I know when I'm expecting a package the USPS doesn't send messages like that so those messages have scam written all over them.

I've gotten a few of those types of emails--never click on them at all and report as spam--but then I did have my debit card hacked  a few weeks ago--had to go thru all the hassel of filing disputes and changing card numbers, pass words etc. there should be a special He^^ for those dirtbags!!!!

I got a e-mail not too long ago from usps that my package was being held because it didn’t clear customs! These people must think we are really stupid!

[riley1]

I got that same exact text about a week ago. My pkg was stuck in customs and they needed information for it to be processed. Um, not going to happen!

The funny part is I did have a pkg coming in from overseas but I was tracking it and knew exactly when it was to arrive.

Because of my business, I have a lot of packages arriving. But I always track them so I know where they are and when they will be delivered.
