Scamming - Fraud
The uspscd.com website is a fake United States Parcel Service tracking website being used by scammers to defraud potential victims. It seems as if the scammers are sending fake USPS text messages to their potential victims asking them to click a link that goes to uspscd.com for payment. The phony website will ask visitors to submit their personal and financial information, if they do so, the scammers will use it fraudulently.
If you have already been tricked into disclosing your financial information by the scam website, please contact your bank for help.

I just got a text this morning with a link to the uspscd... I almost fell for it.
I got a text message from these crooks today. I suspected it was a fake, due to the [.cd] at the end of the alleged domain name.A quick search on the internet told me what I already knew. Here's another hint: there is no such thing as "The United States Parcel Service". There is UPS, United Postal Service, and USPS, United States Post Office. The grammar in the text was also quite faulty, but I fear too many people don't know that. Peace Out, everybody! When in doubt, Delete and Report as Spam!!
I received this on my messages today.
