Have you ever gotten a email message that says its from USPS (snail mail) about a package coming to you? I have. Was it a fake/scammer email? Many times it was. Now, you may be getting a similiar message on your cell phone via text. This, is this months news topic.

Think that text message is from USPS? It could be a scam By BCP Staff April 23, 2025

Have you ever gotten a text message about a package coming via the United States Postal Service? Maybe it confirmed your order, said a package is out for delivery, or said there’s a problem like unpaid postage, a missed delivery, or you need to update your shipping preferences. That text message will say to click a link to learn more or fix the problem. But there’s a good chance that text message that says it’s from USPS (or FedEx, or DHL, etc.) is really from a scammer.

Scammers want you to click the link in their message. What happens next is the scam: the click takes you to a look-alike of a real website where they’ll tell you to enter personal or financial information. If you pay, that money — along with your credit card number, name, address, and anything else you entered — will go straight to the scammer.

To avoid this scam:
-Verify delivery information independently. If you think a text is about a real delivery, don’t give information or click on any links in the message. Instead, go to the online retail site or account you ordered your item from to look up the shipping and tracking information for your package there.

-Use filters. See what options your mobile phone has to filter and block texts from unknown senders. (may need to check or talk with your mobile service provider)

-Report unwanted text messages and scams on the messaging app you use. See if your phone has an option to report junk or spam. If not, forward the message to 7726. (text fee/rates may apply)
