Url looks suss. Seems kinda sophisticated for the usual ups fishing scam. Here's the text message I got leading here.
"Wishing you a bright and sunny day!" Lol, I almost want to help this guy by explaining that UPS and American companies in general have disdain for their customers and would never wish them to have anything that would not benefit the company.
Ive had packages come to the building and the postal worker not knowing which box to put it in so it went back to the post office and the tracking indicating unsuccessful delivery due to unknown address (or something similar). In these cases, call or visit the post office doing the delivery or the company. The tracking number will be the key piece of information you can tie to a partial address. In smaller communities, this wont even happen as just placing a name on a package can get a successful delivery since the postal worker knows everyone in the community.
The entire thing looks sus
They can't figure out your address, but somehow they can figure out your email?
"The .cyou domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that's short for "see you". It's intended for social media influencers, creative directors, and other tech-savvy people who want to be seen online."
LOL - seems legit...
You got several good answers already.
First of all, if you aren't expecting any shipment from USPS, then why would you be updating your address details for them at all?
But even if you are: gflmr.cyou is certainly not the USPS and I highly doubt they would have errors like "package number number" and weird grammar like "because … is not clear, your package is not delivered" on their tracking website.
Hope you didn't click that link. You probably downloaded a malicious payload.
You should download the USPS Informed Delivery app and sign up for email notifications about your mail. These texts are scams and the government never contacts you outside of snail mail/email unless you specifically sign up for another way.
Scam. I get messages like this everyday and I know I don't have any USPS packages coming. Also a bit.ly link is super suss
In case of USPS, the only URL that looks suss is "usps.com", what are you thinking about? :)
I get a few of these every week. I used to just report and block, but lately I’ve been sending them messages that the delivery is important and that I’ll pay to have it expedited if they request money from me at .
Their messages are probably automated without anyone monitoring it, and I haven’t gotten a response yet, but I’d like to think that a few of them have been tricked into staring at a photo of some dude’s giant asshole.
Lmao I got this exact scam message and reported as spam as you should
USPS will never text you unless you have your account set up that way. My mom sends me these texts asking if they're legit, and I always ask, "Did you order something?" No. "Well, then why would you have a delayed package?"
Again, USPS will not text you like this, and they use a .gov domain.
Even if you were set up like that, if they can't make out the recipient address, then they wouldn't even know to contact you.
