1 (216) 532-9084 One of the number text I have received regarding the usps package. I wish these things would stop. Im get annoying calls everyday now this? Geez.

The scammers get your name and phone number from your Venmo account, the first name on this text I recieved (same format as everyone else) had a name that was ONLY on my Venmo account. Never used that name on anything else.

Im forwarding you this txt message as you recommended

I just received one of these with my first name in the text. I've ordered nothing that would be delivered by USPS... The number from which it came is 3322106098. the shipment has a number. The date and link are a bit different: 06/11/2020. Then "go to m7smz.info/ShcCAvEyxw."

[ Name ] urgent alert for the USPS shipment 3I56H4 from 06/13/2020. Proceed to m6szv.info/EkpwygvhKM

From (216) 816-5547

Just got one of these with my first name in it. Where are they getting this from? They have my name and my cell #. What else do they have?

This started after a few days after I placed my first order with Etsy. The vendor was someone in China. I got my order, but wondering if that vendor sold my information?

My text from this number said my name and "we just tried to contact you about your gift. Follow this link before it goes!"

Clearly a sham. Sick of these!

I have been getting them as well - I ignored them because they seemed odd

Thanks for your clear alert when I googled the opening part of the text links I received today stating "Charles, important alert regarding your USPS shipment 8F84A9 from 06/02/2020.Go to m5smz.info/RXPi9BtVt8".

This is the third text I have received, same subject, in two days and is clearly a scam.

In each case I deleted the text message and recommend all others to dot he same.

Thank you for your efforts to keep the public informed of these threats. Much appreciated.

Charles

I have also received this twice in the last few days. Once from 347-952-0182 going to a m6szv.info link, and another from 916-296-4516 going to a m5smz.info link.

Hello,

I have been to message this email if I am getting scam messages.

I have, on multiple occasions, been texted the following:

"Jennifer, urgent notification for your USPS shipment 5S93A8

from 05/17/2020. Proceed to m5smz.info/RXwPvRlhNh"

I got this most recently from the following phone #: 1(917) 941-2175

I have gotten this over 5 different times, other links include

m5smz.info/RWSy79xu75 from 1 (303) 506-9362; l8smk.info/GpJhrkxu75

from 1 (917) 239-1355.

The other ones I have deleted.

Thanks,

At midnight, tired and a little slow, I got text message from a New York area code and because I'm expecting a shipped item, went to check but once asked to further click on AT&T link (suspicious), I declined; but then, I was asked to clean up my phone, I did not. Thanks for confirming this is a scam. Deleted

I got one addressed to my mother's name, and later that evening, one addressed in my name. Both sent to the same number. We share an AT&T account, so that may be connected to how they are getting the names. Otherwise, there's no reason my mom's name would be associated with my cell #.

Are others on here also AT&T subscribers? I wonder if there was a hack.

I got one from 1 917 969 6635

I got one from 1 (714) 655-3624

I clicked it without thinking and immediately backed out of it. Is my phone compromised or was there other information you needed to fill out?

Got the same USPS “important notification for your USPS delivery” message today from 714.473.5317 using my nick name (?) and a shipment date from 07/09/2020, two month back. Anyway, I didn't click on it bec it looked suspicious

Got one, 480-217-4998. Included my name.

Just got one from 714-227-3892

My name's not Julia...not even the correct gender. I wonder if they can receive reply texts? If so, I kinda feel like setting up a program that has a bot that spams them repeatedly for days with hundreds of random texts.

Got it from 302 760 3792 but what is really alarming is the text was addressed to me, it used my first name followed by “important notification for your USPS delivery”. So it’s not just a program mass texting numbers, they have my cell number associated with my name high is concerning.

Got one from 1 216-867-7125 just now!

Beware and be smart!

How do you make these texts stop? I get at least one every single day. Every day I get the text, I block the number and I delete the text. The next day is the same cycle but from a different number. How can you make them stop?

I got 4 of these, just today! I hope they stroke out, they deserve it.

Thanks for this page. Got the message from (657) 397-7236. Not sure that this is useful, but I did a reverse phone lookup on whitepages.com, which says it is AT&T mobile number from Anaheim, CA, SPAM/Fraud potential is "low risk", but the name is unknown. Needless to say, I did not try calling this number!

Yep...Got the same thing at 4:03PM EST on 9/9/2020 by text. My wife has gotten at least 3 of these too.

Glad everyone is chiming in and verifying that it's a scam.

Thank you for letting me know that this was a scam. I wasn't sure because they got my name correct and I do get packages from USPS. I am saving your address for future references. THANK YOU!
