OT PSA Unpaid Toll scam expands to USPS package delivery smishing scam

A month ago, I started getting a group text saying I had unpaid tolls, click the link n pay up.
Or else.
I ignored it.
Then I got a targeted to just me, AFTER 5PM CDT on a Friday, saying they were gonna hold @buynholdisdead for ransom, if I did not immediately click the link, n pay $6.99 by midnight.

It’s a Smishing scam.
I scrutinized the links provided. They had all the hallmarks of “scam”.

Today, I got a group text from USPS, saying my package couldn’t be delivered, click the link to correct my information.

USPS Smishing scam alert:

Now, I’m experiencing de Joy of USPS scams.

They have not yet resorted to threats.
But, I put several TMF handles on scraps of paper n put em in a bowl. If I get a threat text, I might pick one out and offer it as a sacrifice.

I’ll keep y’all updated.

I don’t think he is worth $6.99. :joy: I had to get that in before Leap did.
