The U.S. Postal Service has issued a warning regarding scammers who are sending fake text messages about package deliveries to extract personal information from customers. These messages often claim there is a delivery issue that requires immediate attention, misleading recipients into providing sensitive data. In addition, various agencies, including the IRS, FBI, Social Security, and FTC, have alerted the public about potential scams using their names to target individuals for financial gain. To combat the spread of misinformation and fake news, organizations like CBS News Confirmed and PIBFactCheck have shared tips to help individuals identify and avoid falling prey to such scams. These guidelines emphasize the importance of scrutinizing online information and being cautious about unsolicited messages.
