https://promo-na.winnerof.today ...This is a scam! Do not follow the links
Cousin got similar link thru messenger from 910-466-7448 but that number may be spoofed. Text 1 said "1/2 Your order is delive*d and ready for pickup (her name)" where the * I put in delive*d was NOT an "r" but a graphic that looked "r-like"... Maybe a tracker? Text 2 said "2/2 https:t.co\W1tze909wt" and I intentionally omitted or changed all the "/"s in the link to disable it but if you see it youll recognize the real link.Link opened to a legit looking t-mobile site redirected from "go.plastame.com" to "promo-na.winnerof.today/mm/k9bcvi9c/index.php?clickid=out&crid=80002516& ... etc" which opens to a "Thank you for completing our survey!" banner. It offers 3 prizes. A playstation an ipad and a samsung galaxy all with 2 in stock and the offer expires in only a few minutes LOL. Those links ask you for the 1 dollar and to enter your bank card info to claim the prize.
So I got this text message it was sent to me from the spammers stating I missed a FedEx package delivery oh, it showed the day of the delivery or supposed delivery, it also showed where it went back to the facility, simply stated through messages. And then on the final message, it stated I had a missed shipping fee. I deleted everything before I saw this message. Almost wish I was at home when the alleged package was delivered. I called FedEx only for them to become confused because the tracking number doesn't match any of their records. We both decided it was a scam, and I deleted everything and backed out of my web browser.
These messages all originate from one single source. FTC will be going after them shortly

Received text stating "Congratulations you've been chosen as the Amazon-Na Winner Of Today." Requested 3 simple questions be answered to qualify, then asked for name,address, credit card info to receive an iPad Pro for only 1$ and pay shipping and handling. Did not enter name address or credit card info. Deleted number and blocked.
Yep, got a txt message today. McAfee mobile security warned me away.
Text from 1 (708) 638-9314 - “order ID:52125- payment declined - action required 1h9o.com/N7Cu”. Def looks legit but as soon as I went to click on terms and conditions it wouldn’t let me, I did go as far as putting my name abs address :/ but I’m hoping that Bc I’m not putting in my card info, it won’t become anything . I’m currently changing password now and reporting it to ftc.gov/complaint as well as Amazon. Scary world we live in!
