If you receive a text claiming to be from USPS, asking you to click on a link or copy/paste a link, DONT DO IT

It is a phishing scam attempting to get your personal information. USPS doesn’t send links. This type of scammer disguises the text as being from some government agency and requiring your information for something.

Verify the name, USPS customer service doesn’t use hotmail, and is also called USPS customer service.

If you get a text like this, report it as junk. Even if you ARE expecting a package, USPS won’t send you a link.

Report it and move on.

These screenshots are from the official USPS website, informing on how to report these scams.

Reblog to spread the word, scams like this steal your personal information which is VERY DANGEROUS

Reblog and tag your mutuals so they know to avoid these scams, and what to do if they receive a text like this.

Hey if you get a text message like this, it’s a scam. Note the bizarre email it’s originating from, the fact that there’s a short time limit for your response, the link ending in .top

From the USPS website:

If USPS contacts you it will come from a 5-digit short code that we’re familiar with.
