Scamming - Fraud
Since the start of 2022, scammers have been sending fake USPS Tracking scam text messages like the one below with tracking number us9514961195221 to potential victims. Therefore, recipients are asked not to click the links in the USPS scam texts with the tracking number us9514961195221. This is because the links go to the fake and phishing USPS websites which steal account credentials, personal, and financial information.

Received a text from 810-671-4589 claiming my packaged was not delivered due to “unverifiable address”
Got this same text message just now from 305-427-3592. I didn’t recognize the tracking number so I googled it and this page pulled up. Glad I did, I clicked the link but didn’t send any of my info.
1 (216) 467-6171Looked like a ups web page but not a ups site address. No links worked or just popped you back to same page asking for info
Got the same text from 347-957-5534
I got this same message from 1 (656) 203-5925 the text says that I have to pay for a package to be returned to my address. I just left from the usps store. So, I thought I filled out the wrong mailing address and that it had to be sent back to me. Likewise, I checked the tracking numbers on my receipt. Non of them matched. So, I thought about copying the number and pasting it in Google. This add pops up saying this was a scam and that usps will re-deliver my package for free if they missed me. I hope no one else falls for this. It is not cool to get cover robbed. This is the holiday season also.
Got a scam text from the alleged USPS. I’m expecting something so I clicked it and landed on the alleged USPS website., it asked me for my email and address to see if informed delivery was available to my address. My husband already has it so that was a red flag too. Then it asked me for my debit card info for $3 to redeliver but it didn’t ask for a billing zip code so that’s another whole None of the other links worked even though I already knew it was a scam when I landed on the site. Beware of this one. I could’ve been fooled easily if it wasn’t a Sunday——————————————-From 1-775-469-2537USPS - Your package could not be delivered by our staff due to an unverifiable address.
