  • Very well known scam. Some details that give it away:

    (1) They used a url shortener that doesn’t let you see the actual domain. (bit.ly)

    (2) Website domain is not legitimate.

    USPS’s website is usps.com. If the URL doesn’t end in usps.com (meaning usps.fakewebsite.com is still fake) then it’s not legitimate.

    (3) Tone: The USPS doesn’t text you like you’re their friend.

    (4) The number they’re texting you from is not an SMS short code number (usually 5 digits). Instead you’re getting a text from a 10 digit number with an area code, which means it’s a person/individual rather than an application or service.

  • also typing from a Zenphone 9. The dual sim slot is killer if you travel overseas a lot. I keep one sim card for when I’m at home, and swap out the second sim card for the location specific sim I use when I’m overseas. I can easily switch between the two sim cards, or select which sim to prioritize for what service (phone call/text messages, data, etc)

    Extremely long battery life and is comfortable to hold in my hand. The fingerprint reader is the fastest and most accurate I’ve used. (Cough cough looking at Samsung phones that literally force me to readd my fingerprint every 3 months)

    The only issue I have with this phone is I wish the camera could be better.
