Text message · 9:41 AM

USPS: Your package is on hold because of an incomplete address. Update it within 12 hours: usps-redelivery-help.com

ResultExample

This looks like a scam.

Several independent warning signs point the same way.

Why

This link uses the name “USPS” but usps-redelivery-help.com is not USPS’s real website.
The message claims a delivery problem and asks you to follow a link or send details to fix it. Carriers’ real notices send you to their own app or website.

What to do

Don’t open the link or enter anything on that page. If you already did, change that password and call your bank if you paid.

Report it to the FTC

This text looks normal. It isn’t.

Text message · Yesterday

E‑ZPass: You have an outstanding toll of $4.35. Pay today to avoid a $25 late fee: ezpass-tollbill.com

Result

This looks like a scam.

Several independent warning signs point the same way.

Why

This link uses the name “E‑ZPass” but ezpass-tollbill.com is not E‑ZPass’s real website.
The message says you owe a toll, fine or citation and sends you to a link to pay it. Scam texts use exactly this, and a link in a text is not a safe way to pay.

What to do

Don’t open the link or enter anything on that page. If you already did, change that password and call your bank if you paid.

Report it to the FTC

Your parents shouldn’t need to become scam experts.

Your dad forwards you a text. “Is this real?”

Unknown number

Hi Dad, this is my new number. My phone broke. Can you send $400 for a new one today? Please don’t call, I can only text.

Viper

Treat with caution.

The sender says they can’t talk and asks you to text only. That stops you from hearing whether it’s really them.

Call your family member on their saved number. Use your Family Safe Word if you have one.

Family Safe Word

Agree on one together, out loud. When an urgent call or text sounds like family, ask for it.

Set a safe word your family knows, and share checks with the people who ask you. Family covers up to 6 people, each with Viper Watch.

Some images can prove where they came from.

Today: Viper reads the origin record some cameras and AI tools sign into images.

Next: Detection for synthetic images, video and voices that carry no record. Until then, Viper says when it can’t tell.
