I just got one of these, but the domain was p4svm.info
I'm an idiot and accidentally clicked on mine, what could potentially happen? Can I take any steps to secure my phone/info?
You are not alone. I have since deleted the messages. Best to get them off the phone
I just got one of these. Voicemail: Parcel Sorting Center: Found package addressed to ——. Last pick-up day - Friday! n6fsv.info/E52WDni93GInteresting that it has the same message but slightly different letters in the url
Received a text- "Voicemail: Parcel Sorting Center: Found package addressed to (my first name). Last pick..."I didn't click on it so I can't see the rest. I have disabled my voicemail on purpose by keeping it full, so not sure whether they tried calling first.
Voicemail: Parcel Sorting Center: Found package addressed to Christine. Last pick-up day - Friday! n5smh.info/tB9zM2BdLG
Voicemail: Parcel Sorting Center: Found package addressed to Lori. Last pick-up day - Friday! n5smh.info/tB9zM2zuyG
I had one of these just now—always look up the web address on google before you click on it. It's also a giveaway because USPS's address is usps.com
Just got this one today. Crazy how they even know my name when I have a fake name on this. Right off the bat, I knew it was fake. Parcel package center? From where? UPS, FedEx, USPS? Plus if it was a voicemail, wouldn’t they call first? Then it would go to voicemail if no one picked up the phone? They can leave a message there.
