    I rarely get messages like this too often, but when i do, instant block/report as spam. Its sad how others need to scam people for money...

    Here’s the thing I am expecting a package today. So how did they know to send me that text today? Did the company I make a purchase from leak my info? I know it’s a scam but how did they know I’m expecting a package?

    Yeah, I just got a text saying exactly this, it looked legit and even had the postal eagle on it. It wanted my credit card number for a .30 cent re-delivery fee. We don't even have mail service in my town. Everyone has a postal box, so I knew something was fishy.

    I just gave them debit card number and my address and phone number. And it says card number is not supportive card. 😅 so I thought it was weird… so i found out that it was scam. So I locked the card and change the card with different card number. Do you think it’s okay….?

    My family member got one and accidentally clicked the link, then realized it was a scam, so they shut the site down, then reported the text as spam. They didn't put any info in, but I am still worried they may have been hacked.

    • @jordanliles
      @jordanliles  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi. In most of these cases, from everything I know, you will only get scammed if you purposely give away any sensitive personal information (if you type it out and give it to them) or if you provide them with a credit card number or other sensitive financial details. If all you did was click or reply, you're likely fine.

    Sometimes the link will secretly download a strange app to your phone that can spy on your activity and then the scammers can access all sorts of private information.

    "Okay gotta find the fellow that explains things!"

    Got one of these today, caught me off guard and I am expecting a package tomorrow so I clicked the link.
    Boy you better believe I also clicked the like on this video! I didn't enter any info because the spoofed website said my package would be redelivered on 6/07, and it's currently July. I left the site immediately and reported it to USPS.
    But clicking the link freaked me out and this video slowed my heart rate lol! Thanks internet friend!

    Just got one. The wording is suspicious. Part way down “Please reply to Y, then exit the SMS, open the SMS activation link again, or copy the link to a safari browser then open it”.
    I think this is one of those tests. If someone reads that mess and goes through with it, they’re going to be a prime target for much more than a one time scam.

    I was scammed on a loan application. When I called the number for the company I was connected to that company, but when my call was transferred to an agent it was intercepted by a scammer, I thought I was still dealing with a legitimate firm and I gave some information. My bank detected the scam and stopped the process but I was terminated by them for giving out the information. So I have to get another bank to accept me. Is this something new?

    i don’t feel sympathy for anyone falling for a scam like this. i don’t understand how anyone CAN fall for it, or any type of email/texting scam. i understand there are ridiculously gullible people out there that you may be helping with this video and i understand that is the point, very commendable and im sure it helps. but people shouldn’t need to be told this information. i feel like if someone is able to believe the scams, they deserve the consequential lesson.

      Your remark show's your lack of empathy.
      Senior's are very easily fooled by these scams. It could be your mom next time.
      I can't tell you how many of these texts we get while coincidently waiting for a package to arrive. And since we are signed up for notifications from USPS, FedEx, and others, I can see how easily someone can be duped.
