3-line evidence

Bulletproof checks

Bottom line

Unsolicited text messages claiming to be from the USPS that ask for a redelivery fee or address updates are phishing scams. The official United States Postal Service does not charge any fee for package redelivery and does not send unsolicited text messages containing payment links.

1

Redelivery is free of charge

The United States Postal Service does not charge a fee to reschedule package redeliveries. Any text demanding payment to release a package is a scam.

2

USPS does not send unsolicited links

Official tracking texts are only sent if a customer manually registers a tracking number on the official website and opts in. USPS does not send out-of-the-blue texts with links.

3

It is a known smishing tactic

Cybercriminals send these deceptive messages to direct victims to fake copycat websites designed to steal credit card numbers and personal identity details.
