Be careful. With so many people expecting package deliveries, this time of year especially, I wanted to mention a scam/phishing attempt I received today.
I got a text saying a UPS delivery failed and needed to be rescheduled (I was not home when I got this - no one was, so the scenario seemed plausible)
All of what I was presented looked very very real (these things usually just look bad and are pretty easy to spot - and I'm paranoid when it comes to these sorts of scams)
In any case I followed the link in the text and started to fill out the reschedule request... until they asked for a birthdate... and then a small payment (by credit card). Clearly this is fake... but boy did it look real.
BE CAREFUL - these a$$-H0les are getting more and more sophisticated in their presentation every day.
