Got the scam text from marotingandi9-outlook.com and from a previous number that I blocked before looking up the scam. Seriously glad I’ve avoided this.
I just now received the text - (747) 308-6587. "Your package could not be to schedule delivery because street address does not match your zip code, please update https://oiugd.top"No indicator who sent the message. Besides just never clicking a link in a text message, look at the language/sentence structure. That is also a huge red flag. Stay vigilant everyone - make these people go out and get a legitimate job!
The bottom line is that you should never click a link that comes in a text message. Always verify it for yourself, and type it into the browser yourself.
