Likely a scam
This message came to me this morning.:
U.S. Customs: You have a USPS parcel being cleared, due to the detection of an invalid zip code address, the parcel can not be cleared, the parcel is temporarily detained, please confirm the zip code address information in the link within 24 hours.
https://us-usps-xuwzo.xyz/i
(Please reply with a Y, then exit the text message and open it again to activate the link, or copy the link into your Safari browser and open it)
Have a great day from the USPS team!
Does this look familiar to anyone. 'm thinking scam and I will not reply.

Don't open it!! I have received numerous email's like that even though I have nothing on order with anyone and have no USPS packages coming my way, delete it and move on.

SCAM - SCAM - SCAM!
This week alone we got similar emails from Paypal, Fedex, and Company we have never done any business with. STAY ALERT!

I just received an official-looking email attachment from Social Security telling me my account was frozen due to suspicious activity, and asked me to call a number. An obvious scam attempt to get personal information.

I have a 17 yo IT whisperer under roof that has firewalled my phone and tablet.
I receive no scam calls, scam texts or scam emails.
If you don't have a teenager handy then rent one.

I clicked on the link and now have a Surfboard coming from Russia. Never knew they surfed.
Just kidding. I get similar ones once in a while. Just ignore them. The scammers never quit.

It's a scam. Been getting various "your package can not be delivered..." emails for several weeks.

I can smell that scam all the way back here in Virginia. Never click on a link that you do not recognize or initiated.
