Scam Description
I received a text saying my package wasn’t delivered because an issue with the shipping address. I have been having shipping issues with items im currently waiting for to be delivered so it seemed legitimate that this would have been whathappened. I clicked the link in text, they forwarded me to a website that looked exactly like the usps website, very official, when I clicked links to contact and technical support those looked authentic as well so I went ahead and updated my shipping address as well as my email, name and phone number. They wanted 3 dollars for redelivery and I’ve been waiting on a package for over a month now so I figured I’d just pay it. I thankfully used a prepaid card with only a few dollars on it. Not an actual credit card.
