LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Plenty of people get plenty of packages delivered all the time. If you’re among them, bad actors might try to send you a scam.
You’ll get a text claiming to be from the U.S. Postal Service. It informs you that you have an undeliverable package, and asks you to click a link to verify or complete your address. But — the link takes you to an impostor site that steals your personal and financial information. You later learn, there was never a package, and you’ve been scammed.
The USPS advises you to always be wary of unsolicited text messages from unknown numbers. If you’re not sure of a text’s legitimacy, report it and delete it. Don’t reply to this type of text, even to respond with “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE.” And, never click on any links or attachments from suspicious texts or emails. When in doubt, reach out to the post office or the company you’ve ordered from directly.
