Scamming - Fraud
It appears scammers are sending United States Parcel Service scam text messages to potential victims from usps@ezi.com. The email address is not associated with the USPS so text messages from it are obviously fake and recipients should not follow the instructions in them. This because recipients who follow the instructions or click a link in the scam text messages run the risk of be scammed.
If you have already been tricked by a text message which appears be from usps@ezi.com into disclosing your financial information, please contact your bank for help.

I received 2, one at 6:00 pm yesterday and another at 3:10 a.m. today. It’s a scam. Here’s the message: USPS: Your package is on hold due to incorrect shipping address. Visit e1hr.com to update address and payment infoPlease do not click on the link. Please block and delete!
are you sure someone in your organization is not involved. I find it an unlikely coincidence after not notifying me for 2 weeks that a package had arrived to my p o box I get that scam text message saying there was a problem with my shipping address so I go to the post office to find they had been holding the merchandise for 2 weeks before I get this text message?
