I heard about this scam a couple months ago, but finally got a text myself last week. I didn't click the link for obvious reasons, but looking only at the text itself, it was hard to tell if they were mimicking USPS or UPS. The domain they were using was just some random string like "USPUSU" or something like that.
- tim333 3y agoI usually click the links because I'm curious about how the scams work, and then cut and paste the url to my laptop as I hate mobile browsers. There are usually quite a few give aways: Iffy url, not the same as the real one though semi plausible often - say app-usps.com Usually no personal info like your name / address The one that finalizes it is that of fields like tracking number or credit card no they usually take anything without checking, like "rubbish12345". At that point I usually get bored with it.
