Received the following text message:  "USPS:  the arranged delivery for the shipment 1z08615 got changed.  Please confirm here:  x4fzv.info/FGewZlbr15".  With the bad capitalization, grammar and the funny web address I realized this was a scam.

Very similar text as well.

received the same txt.  Glad I did not respond to it.

Same message as above!

The only thing everyone has in common is a phone. These scammers send out thousands of texts using software and input phone numbers in sequences. They want people to click the links to install malicious scripts, phish personal info and try to steal what they can.

Malicious Links

These type of texts are designed to get victims to click a link, then through the redirects you wind up installing a malicious script into your Browser. They can be simple Browser hijackers that create popups to keyloggers/trackers that record every keyboard press along with visited websites, then sends it to the scammers.
Most times, the "ending" website has nothing to do with the reasoning they sent the link. The "reason" they sent a text was to get you to click the link, which will redirect to multiple websites, each redirecting to the next one. Some ending websites are designed to phish credit card or personal info on click bait sites they get paid from your clicks, while others just go to a News Article or a search engine.
