Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The USPS Redelivery fee scam below is being sent by scammers. The aim of the scammers is to trick recipients into clicking the link in it. The link goes to a fake and phishing USPS website that will ask visitors to submit their credit card information in order to make payment for a package. But, any information submitted on the fake United States Postal Service website will be used fraudulently by the scammers. Therefore, recipients are asked not to click the link in the text, they should delete it instead.
If you were tricked into submitting your credit card information on a fake and phishing USPS website, please contact your bank for help.

Got a text message on my cell phone just like the one shown. Luckily I found this site and deleted the message without paying. Watch out - it all looks legit until you get to the payment screen which alerted me to spam possibilities.
This number from “USPS” texted me to click on it and pay .09 cents to redeliver a package I never asked for. 1 (305) 504-9249
