Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scammers are sending the "Item is in Waiting" package scam text message below to potential victims from 312-339-1227 and 772-262-2092 with a link to the phishing website itemisinwaiting.com. The scam text message claims the recipients have a package awaiting confirmation and cannot be delivered unless the outstanding tax balance is paid. Recipients are then asked to click a link to the phishing website(item is in waiting.com), which will take them to a phishing or fake USPS website that will ask them to make payment.
