Good day to you all and welcome to the weekend. Well, it is 5pm on Friday where I am right now so usually the start of the weekend for most people. Hope you have a good weekend. The day was nice out, sunny, a little breezy at times but 59F (15C) which for me is nice weather. So, for those of you in the USA be on the lookout for a scam, not sure it is new or not but they started hitting up my phone. I of course blocked it now, but you may get a call or text saying your address is in complete and USPS (United States Postal Service) can not deliver your package. They are asking you to go to a website to fill out your personal information. I did not go to the site, so I have no idea what it looks like or what information they are asking for. The site they are asking you to go to is https:/usps.uspshhkk.com. The first clue you should have that it is a scam is, if you were not expecting a package. The second clue is if all your other mail gets to you…might be a scam. Third…websites start with notice the 2 slashes, // but their website only has one /. Fourth…all USPS websites start with www. They do not start with usps, like this scam site does. Remember to be on the lookout for scammers. They are out to steal your info and your money if something looks even a little questionable research before giving out information. In this case how would they have my phone number and not my address? Be safe out there.

I hadoneof those emails but I knew I had not ordered anything so I deleted it. I wondered what information they were asking for, but I didn’t look. There’s lots of scams out there.

I believe every country has their issues with these kinds of things. Sadly, crooked people everywhere.
