I am now receiving text messages for the same thing about UPS parcels. I am also getting emails from a person named Owen Perez, that states he has money from a lost relative of mine and wants to send money to me.
I received this exact message twice. It appears to be from a phone number in Delaware, but who really knows?
I am receiving this message for a second time, referring to a shipment from 06/19. I did not ship or am not expecting anything, and since the web address looked suspicious,I did not click on the link. It is interesting that they used my facebook profile name to address me. I cannot trust facebook to protect my identity then. That social media is getting less and less useful.
