How convenient I got a text when I’m waiting for my oled. It’s early morning & I had to do a double take. Even checked the ups website to make sure nothings delayed lol. Please inform everybody not to press on these links.

    I get at least one of these every day. Mine are like a little .png with the USPS logo and all.

    Just found out this is called ‘smishing’.

    I get these whether I have a package in the mail or not lol. Like I get them so often I would never even suspect that it’s related to the deck.

    It‘s just a normal scam message. These days you get one every week. Nothing new

    I’ve gotten a lot of these USPS scam messages recently.

    Hilariously, every time it’s from a number with a non-US country code.

    I am actually really happy they seem to have swapped from Fedex to UPS for the new decks.

    Say what you want about shipping companies, my luck in my shit not being stolen has been 100% with UPS, and not as good with Fedex.

      So the deck is coming ups? I just saw usps in this post and kind of panicked because I put my physical address as the shipping address for my deck. USPS will not deliver to my house it will only deliver to my PO box. I finally caved and ordered last night so don’t have tracking information yet.

        It seems like they have switched to UPS for the OLED decks, they used to ship via FedEx but it seems they may have switched couriers for the OLED deck. They definitely will not shop it via USPS. The posted text message is just warning people of an incredibly common text scam. That’s the only reason USPS has been mentioned.

    I think it’s a bizarre coincidence, it’s crazy that these scammers always text/mail the moment you’ve ordered something.

    Oh yeah I get those a lot. USPS would never send anything by iMessage, only SMS. Also the link is laughably fake
