Tracking packages through USPS or any other carrier is crucial for ensuring the safe and timely delivery of mail. Without tracking, both senders and recipients are left in the dark about the status of their packages, which can lead to frustration.
Google search engine allows users to simply enter their tracking number in the search bar to quickly find the latest information regarding their package. This convenience has made Google a go-to resource for package tracking.
Unfortunately, scammers have taken advantage of this convenience by creating fake websites that mimic USPS tracking pages. When users enter their tracking numbers on these fake sites, scammers are able to steal their banking information.
Recently, a wave of banking theft cases has been linked to unsuspecting users searching for their USPS package tracking details on Google. Sometimes, these fraudulent websites may even appear as the top search results, fooling users into providing their personal information.
It is important for users to verify the legitimacy of the website they are entering their tracking information on to avoid falling victim to these scams.
One way to protect yourself is to visit the USPS website directly by typing the URL into your browser rather than clicking on search results. Always ensure that the website is secure (starts with https) and has a legitimate domain.
Another way to stay safe is to enable two-factor authentication on your banking accounts. This adds an extra layer of security that makes it more difficult for scammers to access your information.
