Url looks suss. Seems kinda sophisticated for the usual ups fishing scam. Here’s the text message I got leading here.

“Wishing you a bright and sunny day!” Lol, I almost want to help this guy by explaining that UPS and American companies in general have disdain for their customers and would never wish them to have anything that would not benefit the company.

      Furthermore, wtf did they GO TO THE URL FROM A TEXT MESSAGE at all?! 🤦🏽‍♂️

      FFS, people. There’s “I need help with my computer” and then there’s “Some of us shouldn’t have a smartphone”. 🫶🏼

        tbf, it could be sandboxed and safe. I doubt it is, OP doesn’t seem the type, but it could be.

          Doesn’t matter, there’s more than likely a callback in the url that says who it was, and now the sender knows the number is active and the user clicks on links

          Even just opening the link can leak info - I would avoid doing so entirely unless your device is sandboxed

      I actually knew it was a scam and I normally don’t click on them. But I’m glad I’m glad I posted it.
