Maria Hortensia, important notification for your USPS package D51H3 from 03/18/2020. Go to: http://sv7m.info/FzOup63cChI Got this scam above I will block !
216-532-6605. This number has texted me saying thanks for your payment. I had the same message sent to my email a month ago right after 292.00 stolen from my green dot account.p
This is the third text message in two days that I received with a strange message addressed to me followed by a link. This one said: "Voicemail - Package Shipping Office - Found delivery addressed to (my name) . Last pickup day: upcoming Wednesday - URL link". This is obviously spam! Not sure how they got my number but I plan to block immediately.
Got this same scam 2 days in a row now. Just delete it.

I had the same message except mine used a shipment number of 7F14G6, which sounds like airplane numbers. Mine was dated for St. Patrick's day. I am hoping it doesn't have to do with airplanes.
My wife got the same message.I told her it was a scam and not the click on the link.

I got the message " Hey, urgent notification for your USPS delivery... go to : m6szv.info/EkdM8YiHjYfrom these numbers: 347-952-0182 and 216-532-6605.BTW- I have registered and verified USPS online account. Usually, they send message to my email only, not text.
I just received this text message on my iphone and accidentally clicked on the link. The web page did not load, however, so I immediately cleared all my browser history and did not enter in any information. Is my iphone safe? Is there anything else I should do?
You might want to do a full system scan for anything malicious that could have been installed (there are a handful of decent free scanning software from reputable manufacturers, just exercise some caution and use common sense when installing and using any kind of software).
they can match the code on the link to the phone number it was sent to. Now they can see which link-phone-number pair is clicked, meaning which has a human behind that number that they can further spam/scam.
Since the page didn't load and you didn't download or submit personal information, you have nothing to worry about.
That's not true at all..simply clicking on the link has the potential to install/run any kind of malicious code onto your device. The only thing that 'the page not loading and not submitting personal information' can guarantee is that you didn't make their life a little bit easier.
So then what is the solution if you accidentally clicked?
