I just called and there was a guy who told me there was an incorrect address so that the item could be delivered. It seemed legitimate to me at first, and when I provided the correct address, he told me there was a $2 charge for the address change, so I provided the credit card, and then I realized it was a scammer and hung up the phone.
I did not only receive text messages from these scammers, but I also received email from them. The email address from which I received the scam email is uspsdelivery @ gmail.com, and it was not in my spam folder, but it was in my inbox.
I opened it, and as I was already waiting for my parcel, I assumed it was from USPS and clicked the link. It opened in a new tab with a warning about potentially hazardous files.
What makes me nervous is that I accessed the link that was delivered to my phone through a text message, but there was no warning, and I submitted some information but did not enter my credit card information.
What would happen if I clicked the link?
There is a risk if you open the link because scammers will attempt anything, including infecting your device with malware and obtaining your personal information, including name, address, and credit card number, in order to commit fraud.
I just received an SMS with the tracking code US9514961195221, so I followed the link and it appeared to be a legitimate website, but it was overloaded because the page never completed to load, so I assumed that many people had been conned by these scam artists. When I submitted the address, it returned me to a payment page that asked for a cost for changing the address, and when I added a random digit in the credit card field and a random CVV number and submitted the form, it was accepted without any checks and redirected me to the thanks page. Scammers are intelligent fools who acquire card numbers and CVV data in order to use credit cards to deduct money from accounts.
I have a parcel coming from the UK via USPS, and I was excited to receive it today. When I received the text, I thought it might be a legitimate text from USPS, so I clicked the link, and something prompted and something was downloading in the background, so I closed the browser as I was suspicious of malware, and when I scanned my device with an antimalware app, there was malware and it was removed by the application, so be cautious when clicking.
I clicked the link, but I’m not sure if it was virus-infected or not. Nothing downloaded, and all I saw was a bank page. I tried to refresh it, but I think they’ve been caught and the host has banned the website.
I received it, and my entire family did.
They not only have the personal information form fields on the bogus website page, but they also ask for credit card info for a process fee. When I tried to provide no existing card information, I received a successful payment message, indicating that they are not using any payment authorization service, but rather collecting card information from the page in order to use the same information elsewhere and steal money from the card.
With the fake tracking number us9514961195221, there is an ongoing USPS scam text claiming that there are issues with your shipping address and that your item will not be delivered. Beware! It is a trick.
I did not receive any tracking code or information, and when I visited the page, I became suspicious. but it was an excellent trap
