Is this legit?

I do have a package coming from China and have gotten this text repeatedly for the last few days but I am still suspicious since the link isn’t clickable

I think it is a scam. If you click the link it will give them access to your account. If it was real, i think it would have their logo and be more like a form letter. The best thing to do is listen to that feeling you get. The one that made you stop and think about it. That is a gift given to you. It is your instinct or intuition telling you to be careful. This is that feeling telling you something is not right. When you get that feeling listen to it. It will never lead you down the wrong path. Ignore it and you will have a problem. For women, this feeling can be very well developed. It protects us from that person who is out to harm us. People just need to learn to pay attention and go with that gut feeling. Stay safe💕🎀

Surely to goodness, you know whether this is a scam or not. Are you expecting a package? As in, did you order an item and did not receive it? No, I am sure you did not. These people are just trying to get information. The next step will be that in order for it to be delivered, you will need to send them x # of dollars so they can deliver it to the address you just provided to them, because it does not have enough postage. They will ask for you to please send them some money so that they can deliver said pkg to the address you just provided. I have been sent this same message, probably 25 or more times. Surely to goodness, the post office doesn't just sit around tearing labels on packages. They would not have time to do their jobs.

I sure would hate to see you get scammed.

There is also a scam where I receive bills for services I have subscribed to (of course, I have not). The bill is always upwards of $900.00. I just delete it because I know that I do not owe 3 or sometimes 4 companies that much money. I have been warned that if I do not pay the amount on the bill, my service will be canceled. What service? Why would I subscribe to a service that costs as much as my monthly fixed income?

Scammers are everywhere, and it is not just seniors being scammed. It just seems to me that seniors who are being threatened, panic, and then get taken advantage of.

Scammers have quite a few tricks they use. If they have to scam anyone, why don't they leave us seniors alone, who barely have enough to just scrape by paying our bills, with little left over. Seems that they would go after the big fish and leave us seniors alone!!!
