If You Get These Texts, Delete Them Immediately

Scam text messages pretending to be delivery alerts—often claiming to be from USPS, UPS, or FedEx—were among the most common scams last year. Like bank scams, they rely on impersonating trusted institutions and creating a false sense of urgency. Some claim there’s a problem with your delivery, prompting immediate action. Others say your package has been delivered, playing on your excitement or curiosity—especially if you weren’t expecting anything.
