I received a text msg from this number stating I needed to confirm a delivery address for a package. Since I was expecting a package, I paid $3 redelivery fee; however, it's been 2 weeks and no package. The bank account used to pay the $3 fee was hacked the same day.
yes I did it and they stole my credit card now I am afraid they may have stolen my identity why has the government not announced this scam on the news because it comes with getting free covid test>
I received the link yesterday. And like a dummy I believed it and verified my address and paid $3.00 for redelivery. I called the Post Office and they verified it was a scam.
I received a text with the link. Tried to call the number but didn’t work.
I received this text message and was told not to reply.
I received the same text message. Thank you for all your comments alerting that it’s fraudulent.
I got a text from the same number today but did fill my name and address but did not try to pay the $3 it was asking for. I also ran the tracking number and figured it was a scam but this was after I put my name and address in the form as it looked like the USPS site. I hope others do not fall for this scam.
I received message saying saying delivery was delayed due to a problem with address. I was not expecting any type of delivery. When I checked the tracking number on USPS, it is not a valid number.
This is a fraudulent number!
Scam. NO THANK YOU. 1-833-806-0906
I received a text from 833-806-0906 saying usps could deliver package. When I went to the link provided, it referenced tracking number US 9514961195221. I put that number into a separate window on USPS tracking site and it was invalid.
I received a text today that said:The address is wrong and cannot be delivered. Please submit the correct address before the courier can deliver it to you. hxxps://usptsport.com/s4er8Thanks for informing me of the fraud involved
Yes I got the same text today from 8338060906 link they wanted me to click was usptsport.com. Don't fall for this Scam!!!!!!
Received a text from 833 806-0906 saying a package could not be delivered due to incomplete address. I was able to successfully put in my address. Next screen wanted my credit card information as I would be charged $3.00 to redeliver. I, of course didn't do it and googeld it.
DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR ADDRESS!!!883-806-0906
I got this msg this morning. Because I’m expecting the Covid tests from the government, I put my address in. Then it said there was a $3.00 charge to correct my address and I looked up the number. Now I will delete and block.
got a text from this number this morning.
Just got this:We have attempted to deliver your package, but could not complete the delivery because your address information is incorrect. hxxps://usptsport.com/sa2e
Scam! Beware. 833-806-0906 fraudulent number.
I’ve got message just now “ We have attempted to deliver your package, but could not complete the delivery because your address information is incorrect. hxxps://uspdidnt.com/sdg4a”But I know USPS doesn’t send messenger like that one
Scam! Delete, delete delete!
Message readsWe have attempted to deliver your package, but could not complete the delivery because your address information is incorrect. hxxps://uspdidnt.com/sdgf4I have not ordered anything.It’s a scam. I’ve blocked the number
Same text here. Thanks for the heads up
I received two similar requests this morning, but knowing that I wasn't expecting any packages made me suspicious - I texted STOP in response which supposedly blocks me from receiving any more texts from that number.
I received this message and wasn't expecting a package, so I looked the number up online and found this article. I also tried to call the 833 number provided and got an error that my call could not be completed at this time.
I received this message and filled out the form. I looked up the address that I used with the merchant and it was correct. I looked up the phone number and found this site. I then went and filled the form out again with false info. then deleted the message. I hope my phone was not hacked!! I will be more careful in the future.
Received this text this morning. First I take the phone number copy it and search for it. Showed it was a USPS.
Ppl don't even open these type of messages. Some type of messages will hack your phone just from opening the message. I got this one yesterday and did not click on ir the message it self nevermind the link. Food for thought have a good day and stay safe.

Received text msg on May 21, 2022 -10:34 CSTFrom: 1 (833) 806-0906Message read:"Your shipping address is incorrect and the shipment cannot be completed. Please update in time. https://usptrsfer.com/arN2c"
Received message that my shipping address is incorrect & shipment cannot be completed. Message seemed suspicious so looked up number, and was confirmed.
I received a text message that my shipping address was incorrect. I opened the text for the correct information as it looked legitimate. I filled out my address and went to the next screen when they wanted credit card information for additional fees. I then was suspicious and didn’t give out anymore information. The # was 833-806-0906. I looked it up and now see that it was someone trying to get my credit card #.
Yep literally exactly the same I did. I figured it was real since I actually do have a package in transit but as soon as it showed that redelivery fee screen I knew it was BS.
Me too. My cyber security son just simply googled the phone number associated and found that it was a scam.
Received a text from 833-806-0906 stating they couldn't deliver package. Did not click link as it looked suspicious and found the number here. link to click is https://mediateusp.com/sd3g
I just received one as well asking for all my info. However, the tracking number is not a valid USPS tracking number and the site is a FAKE!!! It is not official USPS. DO NOT give out your info
I received a text message that my shipping address was incorrect. I opened the text and then tried to verify it with USPS. It sure seemed legitimate so gave my credit card info but was suspicious. Called USPS to ask about shipping number and it was not theirs. Scammed! Cancelled my credit card. The text showed that it had come from (833) 806-0906. Please someone shut them down!
I also received this text message and clicked the link without thinking, takes you to a mock USPS page with nothing clickable except for the text fields to put in your information . Did not submit information but could tell it was a scam as soon as it sent me to the website. This confirms it.
I just received one and it asked me for credit card information to redeliver my package. Thankfully I realized it was a scam when I checked the tracking number on USPS.
Just received it. It is definitely fraud. The link (which I typed in) takes you to a page that is almost indistinguishable from the real USPS site, except you find if you try to click on any links they do not go anywhere. They ask for your full name, address, phone number, and payment information in order to "redeliver your package."
The dead giveaway was, scammer asked for your card information for redelivery of a package I never made. And the fake tracking number provided does not match the Real USPS tracking numbers.
I went to the USPS site because I am expecting a package and felt something was off. No information for that tracking number listed. When I looked at the link they wanted to charge $3.00 to redeliver. Knew for sure at that point it was fake and this site confirmed it. thank you
A similar message with the following link: https://uspscommuns.com/gfd2
I am glad I didn't respond to it, as well. I received a text message and thought it was odd, since I have Informed Delivery and nothing showed on the legitimate site. I thought the fraudulent site was not obviously odd, though. I also sent a note to the USPS.
Received a message today: "Shipping information cannot be identified and we will suspend your delivery. http://uspremem.com/rtyqw1 " Did not click link. the only delivery I was waiting on were my Free Covid Tests, which were said to have been delivered 4 days ago but I never received and I put in claims with USPS because people were telling me the mail carriers were taking them and claiming they were delivered.
It is a scam.
Text has nothing to do with USPS. Just a stupid, lazy scammer!
Received a fraudulent text from this number - message was as follows: "The shipping address information for your item is incorrect and we are unable to temporarily ship it..." and then a link which looks blatantly shady
Yup, just got a text-just as you said (shipping address). glad I checked out the number
