How convenient I got a text when I’m waiting for my oled. It’s early morning & I had to do a double take. Even checked the ups website to make sure nothings delayed lol. Please inform everybody not to press on these links.

    It‘s just a normal scam message. These days you get one every week. Nothing new

    I’ve gotten a lot of these USPS scam messages recently.

    Hilariously, every time it’s from a number with a non-US country code.

    What I don’t understand is why Apple isn’t using machine learning to auto block these scumbags. I get these randomly and they almost always have the same word for word.

    I get at least one of these every day. Mine are like a little .png with the USPS logo and all.

    Just found out this is called ‘smishing’.

    I’ve been getting these a lot lately, even when I’m not expecting a package. First time I got it was about a month or two ago, and at first I almost believed it, but it’s almost always sent from “xv6_5j3301@1111 . com” lolll

    What’s with all the scam texts coming from email address? I get them all the time! You’d think they’d at least spoof a number or something to make it a little less obvious? Oh well, the more obvious the scam the easier it is to avoid! So I really should complain 😅 just makes no sense to me 🤔

    Even I got a similar message just today in Finland. Not exactly the same but a packet delivery scam nevertheless. It has been quite awhile I last received one

    This is obviously fake, and you are stupid if you fall for it.

    Number one way to protect yourself against scams is to read the link that is sent in the email or text message.

    If you are aren’t sure still there’s a website that allows you to figure out where a link is going https://wheregoes.com/ for example
