The other day I was waiting for a package from UPS that was supposed to be delivered earlier than it was at the time. While in class, I got a notification from a random number claiming to be UPS saying that the package got mixed up and they needed to confirm my address so they could redirect it to the correct address. The message was believable to an extent having proper grammar but the phone number it was sent from wasn’t even an American phone number, so I decided to ignore it and see if the package ever makes its way to me, surly enough a few days later I got the package revealing the message to be a scam in order to get personal information from me. Next time you get a message saying something unusual make sure everything looks right and call the official company phone number to settle the issue.

  1. Great job Nick not falling for the scam. Just remember it’s a different world out there and it’s full of people trying to take advantage of innocent people.
