Fake delivery texts? Avoid clicking suspicious links.

With more and more of the purchases done online, scammers are sending text messages alerting you that a package is pending for you. The messages usually ask you to click an internet link to claim the package and schedule a delivery.

• Don’t click the link. It’s a phishing scam, trying to steal your identity, empty your bank account or install malware in your phone. Do not click any link you don’t know, and don’t provide personally identifiable information.
• Track your packages using the tracking number you receive from the sender.
• Share this information with people around you, especially elderly family members or neighbors who can be more susceptible to this type of scam.
