Hell yes, the USPS is one of the few organizations that is straightforward and doesn't include those kind of fake pleasantries like for profit businesses do.

Gotta respect that
Well, that and the obviously bad link along with weird instructions on how to use it.
I was just joking a bit. It's pretty obvious right out the gate when they refer to "the USPS package" instead of giving a tracking number or something
Also, it would properly be "A USPS package".
I love when I get texts like this as a Canadian. You'd think the scammers would at least message people in a relevant country.
It's a good filter: any Canadians who aren't immediately put off by that are easy prey.
I've been getting similar spam text messages for the past month or so.
Always immediately block and report as spam, but assume it's constant rotating numbers, as I get a few per week.
Appears to be a common, and annoying scam. I'm on android, and they usually do a good job detecting/not showing spam. Hope Google steps up their game on this one.
I get these pretty much daily at this point
I've been getting something similar here in the UK, but from the Royal Mail interestingly enough....
Ive been getting this message every day since the post... :(
That post was the first one I got, but I got 3 more yesterday.
