Don’t click on links or respond to unexpected texts - including ones asking you to fill out surveys to get free items. No matter what the unexpected text says, the advice is the same. If you click on those links and submit your card information, you’ll ending up with nothing - but you’ll find unauthorized charges posted to your account. To claim your “reward,” you’re told to click on the link, answer some questions, and pay for shipping. Or you might get texts about a chance to win a free gift card or a power tool. You may get a text from scammers pretending to be USPS and asking you to confirm your debit card details so you can get an undelivered package. The details vary, but the scammers are after the same thing: your money and your personal information. Spoiler alert: they’re from impersonators. The FTC has seen a spike in reports from people getting text messages that look like they’re from well-known names like USPS, Costco, or The Home Depot and others. That unexpected text from the Postal Service (USPS), Costco, or The Home Depot telling you about an unclaimed package or a survey you can complete to claim a freebie is NOT from them.
