It could be a scam Have you ever gotten a text message about a package coming via the United States Postal Service? Maybe it confirmed your order, said a package is out for delivery, or said there's a problem like unpaid postage, a missed delivery, or you need to update your shipping preferences. That text message will say to click a link to learn more or fix the problem. But there's a good chance that text message that says it's from USPS (or FedEx…or DHL…) is really from a scammer. Scammers want you to click the link in their message. What happens next is the scam: the click takes you to a look-alike of a real website where they'll tell you to enter personal or financial information. It will go straight to the scammer if you pay that money, along with your credit card number, name, address, and anything else you entered. To avoid this scam: Check out these resources to help you weed out [spam text messages](https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-recognize-and-report-spam-text-messages#what_to_do), [phishing emails](https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-recognize-and-avoid-phishing-scams#protect), and [unwanted calls](https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-block-unwanted-calls).
