INDIANA— Have you received unsolicited mobile text messages with an unfamiliar or strange web link that indicates a USPS delivery requires your attention? If so, you may be the target of a phishing scam. The United States Postal Service (USPS) has become one of the most imitated brands for phishing scams, with scammers trying to trick recipients into clicking on malicious links or providing personal information.

To protect yourself from falling victim to these scams, it's important to be able to track your USPS packages accurately. By tracking your packages, you can verify the status and location of your delivery to ensure it is legitimate. We need to prove that a letter sent via certified U.S. mail was mailed on a certain date. We have the tracking number and can show, from the USPS website, the exact time and location it was mailed from.

This US Postal Service delivers billions of packages and letters each year. Here's what you need to do to track a parcel: simply enter your tracking number on the USPS website or use the USPS mobile app to check the status of your package. By doing so, you can confirm the estimated delivery date, see if any delivery attempts were made, and monitor the progress of your shipment in real-time.

If you get an unsolicited text from an unknown number claiming to be from USPS, do not click on any links or provide any personal information. Instead, verify the status of your package directly through the official USPS website or app. By taking these precautions, you can protect yourself from falling victim to phishing scams and safeguard your personal information.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (anonymous image description: A bustling USPS distribution center with workers sorting and scanning packages) The House approved a new bipartisan bill Monday that would require USPS to collect and track information about deaths and injuries from traffic accidents involving postal service vehicles. This measure aims to improve safety standards and accountability within the USPS fleet.

KHOU 11 News put the United States Postal Service's mail system in Houston to the test by tracking 11 packages that were sent out in various locations. The investigation revealed that the USPS tracking system was accurate and reliable, with all packages reaching their destinations on time. This demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of USPS tracking in ensuring timely deliveries.

If you are still tracking a package and the tracking number says it hasn't left the local post office, a source told us it's likely at the sorting facility awaiting processing. In some cases, delays may occur due to high volumes of packages or inclement weather. However, rest assured that USPS is working diligently to deliver your package as quickly as possible.

The countdown is on. Less than 14 hours until the packages are scheduled to arrive at their destinations. Will they make it on time? With USPS tracking, you can monitor the progress of your shipments and receive real-time updates on the status of your deliveries. By staying informed and proactive, you can ensure a smooth and secure shipping experience with USPS.
