Scam of the Week
Package Delivery Text Scam
You receive a text saying your package could not be delivered and to click a link to update your address. The link leads to a fake USPS, UPS, or FedEx website that asks for your name, address, and credit card for a redelivery fee. Real delivery services don't text you links. Check tracking on the carrier's official website.
