Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scammers are sending fake USPS package emails like the one below with tracking number us9514901185421 to potential victims. The scam emails claim the recipients' package has been stopped and will only be delivered if a fee is paid. Recipients are then asked to click a link to make payment, but that link goes to a fake USPS website that steals account credentials, personal and financial information.

I got this as a text message on my phone - sent it to my Linux PC to review and saw the empty fields to fill out over a http (not https) which I will NOT enter any info into. This Article was a great quick find ! TY for posting it
I got the fake text and me being stupid I put in the info but the last thing I didn’t put was it said password and still submitted it but I didn’t look like it went through what should I do?
Change your passwords and if you submitted your credit card or banking information, please contact your bank for help.
This happened to me today. What should I do? Thank you
I received an email from the "USPS" stating a delivery problem. The email came from a .ly (Lybia) domain. FAKE!
I am 82 and had ordered a scooter. Then got this email with the same tracking number. I did follow instructions. What should I do now.?
I got this a a text, but they didn't want money, they wanted me to reply with all sorts of personal information. I reported them.
I received a text message saying a package was on hold at USPS with a link (now I’m already suspicious). I clicked on link and saw a tracking number with a bunch of fill-in information form. Yeah right. First thing I did was copy tracking number and searched it in Google. This brought me here. The strange thing however is that somebody did actually put a hold (using my name) on my mail with the USPS a few days ago. I contacted USPS because I wasn’t receiving any mail for a few days (which is weird) and found this out today. This made the text message from the scammers seem even more authentic in my eyes. It’s a good thing I have trust issues with everyone…even my own mother!
Also sending from this email address to text messages mms-usps-btim-uhxc-fcevwreck.autos
I received this email today and filled out my address and birthday but that was only it I didn’t receive anything else from them
I received the text today which did look suspicious so I ignored it, until I found out my medication had an issue being delivered. So I then clicked on the link with the tracking ID, I copied the ID and searched it in another tab to find out it’s a scam. I did not enter any personal info, but I’m reading articles saying spy ware could’ve been installed? Just from the link. Has this happened to anyone? Or is it just if you put in your info
Got a text from (272)242-9977 with this tracking number. Beware! Their phishing website has working links to the real USPS page. usps-confirm is what was put in as the URL. I went to the real USPS page by google search because I was suspicious and tracking #US9514901185421 wasn’t valid.
My item hasn't even been MADE yet, much less shipped. Jfc
It’s also coming through text messages now. Stay wary, y’all.
I got scammed today entered credit card info but realized scam right away cancelled card and drive 3 credit bureau files.
Just received a text from USPS stating they had an issue with the delivery address. I have been waiting patiently for a last minute delivery from Shutterfly so I didn’t hesitate to provide the requested information. I followed the prompts up until the part where they wanted my credit card details for a redelivery fee of .55 cents. Hmmmm. I almost fell for this scam.
USPS reminder: Your shipping address was wrong, Please click the link to check your shipping information errors.http://mtw.so/65T2uq
When checking the USPS site to check the scam tracking number it says that information not available at this time but it does not identify the number as a scam
We need to stop these scammers some how
FRM: USPS.MSG: You have a package thats need to be delivered, but it has been suspended due to and incorrect delivery address. http://www.return-address02.subscription-16a3b-order.zsfnufc.buzz Regards,USPS.Invoice-R3D2341A9UE9RZC.This is now the second time I have seen this text. Almost identical a week ago. The website looks pretty decent but the address is so far off from an actual postal website. I did not enter any info. Definitely a scam.
Please delete my information Milagros P...That I email for this trackNumber 9514901185421
I received a text from: #332-250-2395.From: Post .Msg : The package is on hold due to missing recipient information , pls update the address .https://ctbm-loa.us I happened to have a pending case which was being tracked. So I thought it was about that. I filled in name, address, phone and by submitting it the credit card information popped up for $1.01 delivery charge! That’s when I got suspicious. I called the number, did not leave a message. I went to USPS tracking site which said it was not a USPS tracking number! I highlighted the number and clicked on look-up which brought me to your site, about the scam. It doesn’t go back for me to erase my name/address/phone info though I deleted the message.
I also got a text but the number was a 304 number and I am waiting on 2 different packages but when it told me it needed my card info I was suspicious for sure!! I want it to delete my name address and phone too but it wouldn’t let me
I received a text from USPS (supposedly!) I filled in my info, but then it said it would be N additional 9 cents charge to re riute it. Thia is the tracking nimber they claimed... US9514901185421..luckily I went to the USPS website and tried tracking that #.. and it did not exist.. then I saw this post.. so it is NOT JUST AN EMAIL SCAM!
They are sending texts to phones with it too. I had a couple sent to me after I had ordered stuff online.
Happened to me too after I just ordered something online.
In the US, the NSA has access to ALL communications. Therefore, there is no such thing as an undetected crime, particularly if the crime has been reported to any law enforcement agencies, all of who received a great sum of money from us taxpayers to upgrade their systems so that their records are shared across all agencies. It is certainly US citizens being targeted by these agencies as the agency which all others report to is the Department of Homeland Security. So how does this scam, as well as many much larger others, continue undetected?
Its a numbers game. Criminals always push technology. The governments play catch-up. So many scams out there using many different forms, it is impossible to keep up.
Gervars clothing place is the only new online thing I have done and they are a scam so I am thinking that is why this is happening to me.
I just received this today. It was written in very poor English which made me suspect. I copied the tracking number and it brought up the scam alert. Thank you for alerting us!
so I just got this today and I got it in a text and thought the .ly was suspicious so I didn’t click on it, but eventually found the tracking number and it’s the (US9514901185421) oneanywho this is what I got in a text 1(215)543-4014Your package has been returned transportation center due to the wrong shipping address,please update a more detailed address.URL:https://rebrand.ly/zozrd9d
US9514901185421 same as here, I just received the same message today. There is no such things relate to this tracking number. I almost put my 3 digit security code on the form and submit it. I hope I am not a victim of scams.
I just got this today but I got it in a text message. First thing that tipped me off was the fact that it the number was an actual telephone #. Usps only uses 28777 or similar numbers. I have to say they put a lot of work in on the website and I did put my address in but I realized it as a scam. I mean they can’t do much with my address it’s public knowledge. But what a holes how long has this been happening ?
Not just America the scam here in Australia using Australian post
How the f can they keep getting witj this its straight bulls and illegal if u people know about it what the f are you good for if you just let them continue
Just received a text from (224)706-7147 saying "[Postal Service] We were unable to deliver your package due to a failed address lookup. Please modify the address: s.id/usssp" I clicked the link, but once it asked for payment information for redelivery I exited out. USPS doesn't charge redelivery fees. Don't fall for the scam. Fake tracking number.
me too, I just got this text today too. I am glad I found you guys on this website to learn more about scams.
I received a similar text from (213) 442-6551 saying "Your package is on hold at the post office because of delivery address is wrong, please fill in the address online. https://www.ups-expres.us/"I clicked the link as well but when it asked for credit card info I exited out.
Atlas for Men delivered an order and needed to redeliver as no one was home the first time.I paid $1.50 to redeliver with my Visa. My Visa was compromised within a few days. I ordered again from Atlas for Men and again a online alert came up for a phishing scam from USPS. I am not implying Atlas for Men are involved; however, this is disturbing.
Just received 2 text messages for the same thing one number is 3322536628 the other is 9452575759
scam got a txt message from 1-908-656-7327The post office staff could not deliver your package due to wrong address, pls update your address to deliver your package: https://uispsls.top/ tracking number us9514901185421 USPS
I got to the point where the site asks you for a sms code, I placed a wrong number. Im I in trouble? My card is already locked, no starnge charges yet.
I kinda had an idea that this was a scam but wasn’t entirely sure. I inputted my name and residential address but did not continue on when they asked for financial information. Should I still be okay?
Yes. I received this Scam also
They are not just targeting emails. I just got a text message saying that I needed to verify my shipping address because it didn’t match their records. Gotta get up earlier in the morning to fool this old cat.

Now this phishing scam is also using the following website: hxxps://helpwithmyshipping.com/And they are texting from this phone number: 647-629-3280, and possibly other numbers as well.
C**p I fell for it and gave them everything because I've been waiting for some packages and haven't received them yet! I thought it was fishy that I had to pat $2fee but I just wanted my stuff! This sucks now I have to change my card I guess at the bank I don't have a lot of time on my schedule I work like crazy so this is a huge inconvenience!
CaI en la trampa que debo hacer ahora porque yo seguí todos los pasos y me dI cuenta muy tarde de k era una estafa después k lo había realizado todoI fell into the trap that I must do now because I followed all the steps and realized very late that it was a scam after I had done everything
What happens if you fell for it and put a card ? (A card with no money ) . Is there somewhere to report or what should one do next ?
