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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Ashburn, Virginia, United States

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.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Radnor Township, Villanova, Pennsylvania, United States

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.

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.

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

by an anonymous user from: Sciota Township, Laingsburg, Michigan, United States

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!

by an anonymous user from: Newark, New Jersey, United States

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.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Texas, United States

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.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Boston, Massachusetts, United States

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."

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Downtown Redmond, Redmond, Washington, United States

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.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Sciota Township, Laingsburg, Michigan, United States

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

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.
