Does anyone know if this is a legitimate USPS address? I get so many phony emails from USP and other delivery services that I’m skeptical that this is real and that it’s actually a scam. Questionable email: si******on@icloud.com

Thanks!

USPS likely doesn’t even have your email address (unless you submitted that), and certainly doesn’t send official messages from some rando’s iCloud address.


Here is what USPS states: https://www.uspis.gov/news/scam-article/smishing-package-tracking-text-scams


And for more context, Snopes: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/usps-text-message-scam/


If you still have doubts, ask USPS to confirm that.
