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.
If you get a text like this:

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