Here is another number to add to the list714-642-3627
I also receive these messages multiple times a day. The most irritated part about it is that it is sent from different numbers every time so no matter if you block the number, it will just be sent from another one the next time it is sent. The message I just received says, "null, we found a parcel from June pending for you. Please claim ownership and schedule for delievery here: 17smv.info/rCYwmW1D8L " The number it was sent from was 1 (607)345-0977.
I get texts from this scam once or twice a day, each time from a different number. The name that they always come to is Jacoquyn, which isn't my name, nor do I know anyone who even has that name.The latest: "jacoquyn, we found a parcel from April pending for you. Kindly assume ownership and schedule for delivery here:" followed by a link. The number attached to the text this time was (508) 280-0994.

I've had this scam already twice this week. Both times I reported it on White Pages scam/spam so others can see that it's FAKE & hopefully not fall for it! The 2 numbers that I received the texts from are: Aug. 27th 917.913.2542 & Aug. 29th 332.228.7999 Thank God that I'm not gullible enough to tap on any link & fall for it. But I'm worried about everyone else (elderly especially) that may not realize that it's A SCAM.
