USPS text message scam

1. bEWARE this is a very horrible scam, you get a text message from the USPS saying that you have a package to be delivered and need .18 cents to pick it up so I gave them card because it looked real. No one told me about this scam and now people from Chicago and Sacramento California have gotten my card and stole 158 dollars from me.I am 61 and work really hard for what money I do get and I pray that God the Father will catch these thieves. This is second time I have been stolen from.

[Friday 9/6/24] Yes @EstyC246923 , I did read about this SCAM on my Google News and I guess it is best to maybe go to your NEAREST post office. So sad we old people, some of us struggling financially - NOW have this SCAM to deal with. Anyone have any TIPS on how to AVOID this scam?  🤔   I am SO SORRY this happened to you and thanks for sharing your story. Nicole  👵
