00:00Scammers are going vintage and targeting you through the U.S. Postal Service.
00:05The USPS warns of unsolicited mobile text messages with a strange web link that indicates a USPS delivery requires a
00:13response from you.
00:15Don't click on the link. It's called smishing.
00:18Victims will get a text message that tries to lure the recipient into providing their personal or financial information.
00:24Scammers often disguise themselves as a government agency, bank, or other company.
00:29Experts tell Money Talks News that scammers can know you mailed a package by somehow getting their hands on your
00:35tracking information, having inside information, or just making a lucky guess.
00:40You can tell if the text messages are legit because, first of all, you have to sign up for them.
00:44And according to the USPS website, they won't contain a link.
