Imagine receiving a package alert from a number you don't recognize; the surprise fades fast when the message turns out to be a phishing attempt. Scammers often impersonate UPS to lure users into clicking malicious links that can install malware or harvest personal data. Always verify delivery notifications by logging into the official UPS website or calling the carrier directly, never through the text link. Install a reputable mobile security app, keep your operating system updated, and block unknown numbers. Report the incident to the FTC and share the experience with friends to curb future phishing attempts.
Installing malware on phones seems to be their tactic, allowing them to access sensitive information.
