Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The 'W5fek info' text below, which is disguised as a USPS notification and came from telephone number 1-657-296-5340, is a fake and scam. The fake text is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick recipients into clicking on the link in it. The link goes to the fake or phishing Royal Mail website, w5fek.info, that steals personal and credit card information. Therefore, recipients are asked not to follow the instructions in it.

I got this (USPS: the scheduled delivery for the shipment 1z56348 has been changed. Please confirm here: x7fqe.info/7Ko496-1152Zw0viU4) today from phone number 254-492-1152 and suspected a scam. I blocked the number, didn't click on the link and am reporting it here, now.Unless legislators do something to stop robocalling and texting scams, the people who profit from phone companies allowing this sort of crime from it's numbers are going to be held accountable, along with the do-nothing scam artist legislators who allow for criminal prosecution of people who do nothing wrong to another, yet do NOT act on behalf of those of us who pay them to stop this sort of criminal act. I am initializing a common law claim under private criminal prosecution similar to michael o'bernicia's case in the UK. People had better wake up and start holding every man who acts (or doesn't, when they should) on behalf of a legal fiction/fictional entity (which cannot DO or SAY anything, as it has no hands or voice) or we are ALL going to pay for their insurrection! Be a (hu)man, not a 'person' with a number assigned by Social Security and an ALL CAPS version of your given name, by which you are unwittingly contracted into compliance with a corporate entity under legal fiction, deceptively masquerading as a state or country. If your accuser can't look you in the eye, because it doesn't HAVE one, the man acting on behalf of that fictional entity is liable for all harm, loss or threat of either caused you by his act of hand, or word of mouth. STOP ORGANIZED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BY PEOPLE HIDING BEHIND FALSE POWERS OF SO-CALLED GOVERNMENT, before the abuse of unjust powers is the undoing of mankind. Remember, ALL JUST POWERS OF GOVERNMENT ARE DERIVED BY THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE! You have the power to rescind that consent at any time. I did, and will gladly show you how!Go to www.wynnewithwords.com for more info. I will be posting it later today, on that website. God bless US All!

Same scam new number 619-673-7173
I am expecting a package AND I had just gotten an email saying one of my orders was cancelled because it was out of stock and I stupidly put my information in!! The website looked legit too, I cancelled my card immediately but now I’m worried because they now have my first and last name, email, address and all of that... what do I do??
Received this at 11:47 this morning from 1-619-673-7113:USPS: the scheduled delivery for the parcel 1z43073 got changed. Please confirm here: w5fek.info/V7hmkErIDK
Thank you for this. I got the same text. The phone number and other alphanumeric codes were different, but what was identical was that the url began with w5fek.info/. I had it on my iPhone and iPad lock screen and when I touched or slid it right to wake up my screen I did not see it in my text messages. So I was a little worried that I clicked something, but I don’t think so.
same here but number from 1-619-673-7171
Just received this text, though the parcel number and the numbers and letters used in the link are different, and it came from 619-673-7210
1-619-673-7155 is another number running this scam.
I don't like it
got one today, at first I was confused because I hadn’t ordered anything recently. I never clicked the link. The text message read, “ USPS: the scheduled delivery for the parcel 1z68238 got changed. Please confirm here: w5fek.info/V7movujLKg” I don’t recommend clicking the link even out of curiosity.
The text message was suspicious; thanks for warning and the confirmation.
