Late last night, a surge of suspicious texts flooded phones, all pretending to be banking alerts or USPS notices from the same unfamiliar number. The messages typically include a bogus tracking code or a request to reply with personal data, a classic hallmark of spam scams. Never tap links or share credentials; instead, open a new browser window and log into the real bank or USPS site to verify any alerts. Enable your carrier’s spam filter and consider adding the number to a block list. If you receive one, forward it to the FTC at spam@ftc.gov or report it through your phone’s built‑in spam‑report feature.
