No Your UPS Package Delivery Did NOT Change
Ever since the Facebook hack, where over 500 million people had their information leaked, I ve been getting spam texts and calls nonstop! It s annoying and frustrating, but it gives me something to rant and warn the Quad Cities about.
From Amazon to UPS, scammers love lying about your deliveries.

Make sure you delete these texts as soon as possible. If you do have a UPS package you are worried about, check your email.
