Possible USPS Scam

[rob_palermo]

Hi Forum,

I'm fairly new to selling on eBay with great success! I recently got a possibly suspicious text posing as USPS that my package couldn't be delivered because I need to verify my physical house address. Funny thing is I'm all caught up with my deliveries but it looked legit so I put in my address; then it asked for my payment info. I became VERY suspicious and stopped there..I'm reaching out because I only use USPS for eBay pick up and delivery, and I'm curious if others have experienced this recently.

Any advice would be helpful.

PS here is the url I was to click:

Sorry it wouldn't let me post the url. Said it was invalid so I guess that answers my question.

It's a smishing scam that's been going around for awhile:

Forgive me....don't know what "smishing scam" is but if this stops another user from a "whatever scam" i'm all for it!! Please be careful!!
