I've been getting these for a while. Every time I block them I get a text again from a different number. It's annoying!
I get the same thing I block and report and I get another text messages almost every day with different numbers
Same here
I'm in Alberta, Canada and We also get these text scams as well.
I blocked around 3 different scam numbers within the past 2.5 months.
Maybe im dumb but doesnt this mean you have info leaked online?

It's happening all over.
Since this is USPS, wouldn't it be considered a federal crime??
Federal crime
Good luck catching them ; that's the problem.
I got this today… the same day my actual package was supposed to be out for delivery. I decided to check the tracking on the site I bought the item from and it was already delivered to my mailbox. I am so glad I didn’t fall for it. And I almost did bc the timing was just SO perfect almost like they knew I was expecting a delivery.
I just got this text and thank God this video is out here! Thank You🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
But did you receive your package?
@@kimbelismoretacuevas8788yes I did, but it was not coming from this scammer 😊
@@kimbelismoretacuevas8788😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is why I don't click on random links sent to me....
I don't open any unsolicited texts or texts from people I don't know .
I think just opening them could allow spyware into your devices
Thanks y’all saved my ass
But did you receive your package?
@@kimbelismoretacuevas8788 scam
I just got this. I sent them a picture of my hairy butt hole
And that's exactly what you're supposed to do 😂😂😂.
Based
can you send me that pic as well, for research purposes?
How the hell does this have 17 likes it’s supposed to have 10k
I've been getting this text everyday and with different numbers my phone is protected where I block spam and calls and still receive it plus i dont clink the link
I just got one of these on Saturday, I didn’t really read it and immediately deleted and reported it as junk!
USPS put a notice on my door, lost the letter I supposedly had (from the IRS), and wanted my phone number incase they found it. 🙄 I didnt give it. They can deliver the letter to me.
That makes no sense. I already paid shipping costs when I bought the item and why would I give them my social security number? Also if they're claiming incomplete address information and I know I gave them the exact address then that's their mistake. Why would I pay extra for a mistake they made?
I definitely had one of these. These people are desperate for me to fall for the scam. They even added to me to a tracking group. Phone companies need to fix this as soon as possible.
The funny thing is after I got this scam message USPS ended up sending my package back for no reason. That's when I learned USPS takes no accountability for their mistakes. USPS sucks.
I get a text from a different number every day, I guess forever...kinda bullshit, and super pathetic, I'd never fall for something with a clearly fake url
I’m saying bro!!! How the fuck do people not check their links before clicking on them..
@@W888Hbecause im fucking 12 . like i didnt start ordering shit online until recently- i put my address and name in not my card info tho. idk man
Did I Accidentally fall for this?
I’ve had these before. I never click on a link, either in a text or e-mail.
I got the text this morning at 6:58 am. The link is included, but it is not a hyperlink so I had to put the address in the search bar. When I entered the address on my work computer it said that this is a dangerous site. That is when I searched and found this video. I have to packages that should be arriving today, one that is expensive, so the text seemed legitimate.
I had one sent to me a few weeks ago.
Just almost got hit with this scam a minute ago. Thanks!
But did you receive your package?
I fell for this 🤦♂️ the timing was just perfect, my international shipment just arrived in the USA when I got this text.
have you had any federal issues? i fell for it too and i’m now i’m scared
@@ni7414 not so far
Same here anything bad happend to you ?
@@joseespindola6818 I deactivated my card and got a new one, nothing was stolen
How do you guys not check the links before clicking on them.. they clearly look fake! Even if they try their hardest to make it look legit you can still see the link on the message they send you.. it’s common sense man don’t click unknown links.
I just got a text message like that:(
This video just safe me from this scammer 🙏
Love videos like this ❤️
My friend clicked the link but did not put anything in- what happens now?
Any updates?
Nothing happens as long as he didn’t not information
@@youngluna9226what if i put in my in my card information cuz i didn’t know?
@@youngluna9226I clicked a button that said update immediately after filling out address/email and it took me to card info and that’s where I stopped. Will they have my info now regarding my address/email even if I didn’t fill out card info or do I need to fill out the card info too in order for them to get all of the information that was filled in?
I won't even open a text that's unsolicited especially from someone I don't know because even though people say opening it does not allow spyware in I don't believe it
I got it twice. I knew better.
I've had this text for a while. I'm so glad I never clicked that link
yea i had to delete my cards cuz fail for it
I got this message and didn’t send or didn’t get send a package lol these scammers crazy
brooo tell me why i jus clicked da link ??? what gone happen
I got it and I clicked the link because I have signed up for the notifications! What do I do now?
Reset your phone and call 911 immediately
But when you say you signed up for the notifications I'm under the impression it's just for that one time of the packages you're expecting .
In other words , if you're not expecting any packages you shouldn't be getting a text from them .
Were you expecting a package and did you open the text ? If so , did it turn out to be legitimate or what ?
I just blocked the number after i saw the text felt risky event opening it to block the number
I just got this a hr ago but mines says [Track Package’s] instead of ups
Same. I just got the text this morning. Had to check online to make sure.
But did you receive your package?
@@kimbelismoretacuevas8788 scam

I ignored it, but I want to know if I will still receive my package?
No.

@@kimbelismoretacuevas8788 stop asking that question. People are not gonna receive their packages from scams.
I receive three Tex messages I hurry delete it
I got this text this morning
I fell for it so what’s gonna happen
idk bru i think i canceled mines before it went through but not 100 percent sure, anythin happen to u yet?
If you scroll up to one of these threads you will see somebody saying they got one of these messages and it was about a package apparently from Italy and she owed nine cents on it and use her card .
Then you see a reply to that person saying I did the same thing and they said they noticed small charges on their bank card coming from places like London ,Ohio , California .
So now you need to check your bank statement or your bank activity every day to see if there are some small charges on it that maybe you would not have noticed and if that's the case you're going to have to get your card number changed with the bank maybe even other stuff I don't know you would have to call your bank though if there's any fraud at all
What happens after I put my card info in??😭😭 SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!
Did u get charged yet?
You get charged? You ok now?
He died.
No not yet but now I get a bunch similar text, at least 6-10 a day
@@dir-gkI’m alive bro😂
I just got this text
Damn I got this message but when I clicked the link it took me to the tracking page and had me pay .09¢ for re delivery it’s shipping from Italy apparently and it was supposed to be shipped in two weeks to a warehouse 😢 damn I don’t think my cards are at risk this the information kept buffering so I kept restarting it
Hey be careful, I did the same exact thing. It looked like it didn’t go through every time I refreshed it. Then I started noticing that there were small charges being made from London, CA, and even OH. Be careful and check your bank account to see if there were any charges that were made that weren’t you
@@jasminguzman2396how much were the charges?
@@jasminguzman2396 would you recommend getting a new card ?
I'm confused ... were you actually expecting a package from Italy when they contacted you where was it just something out of the blue and you don't know anybody in Italy who would be sending you a package ?
@@jasminguzman2396hey can you please help me with this, i got scammed man and i dont know what to do
They not sneaky
If i was like 20 i would believe and gotten a veris but it should me his email and i dont use ups
Lol I been getting this garbage text at least 2 years... .
Bro this is the fucking 3rd time (I got this text 2 minutes ago) this has happened and the thing is I don’t care because I usually just track the sender I’ll tell you right now their usually from Delhi India or loni or something like that but yeah I’m not worried I got 1 arrested already so it’s just really annoying and stupid that you’ve been trying to scam a 17 year old now 18 and you get caught every time so yeah don’t worry about those only if you click the link then ur screwed
Well I didn't fill put anything and i could tell it was a scam
But did you receive your package?
@@kimbelismoretacuevas8788 I never ordered one
@@kimbelismoretacuevas8788 no.
I got this
I got a text like that today and i blocked and reported it, and deleted it.
But did you receive your package?
@@kimbelismoretacuevas8788 NO.
Who did you report it to ?
I got a USPS text on solicited as I have not ordered anything and nobody I know is sending me anything right now so I didn't open it and immediately deleted it .
But if it happens again who do I report it to
