Caution: Phishing Scams

Updated March 23, 2023

Beware of potential info phishing scams.

 

The Mail Box joins the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in warning the public about malicious texts and/or e-mails. These typically warn about a vague inbound package that require one to click a link to submit information. If you are not expecting something, it is best to disregard them. If you are expecting a package, you should ignore the message anyway and instead reference receipts, and then contact the delivery courier directly via their customer service pages. If it's an important issue, they will try to contact you again.

An FTC interactive infographic on fraud by demographic can be read here (from 2018 to 2022).

The original FTC post can be found here. Please see below for a list of resources displaying sample scams.
