Back to Delivery Address Confirmation Scam

This is a version of Delivery Address Confirmation Scam.

USPS Reschedule Your Delivery Text with QR Code

This variation arrives as a text message from an unknown phone number and includes a USPS-branded image instead of a normal link-only message. The image says delivery failed because of an invalid ZIP code and tells you to scan a QR code to update your delivery details. The QR code reportedly led to a webpage on sandalisneakers.com, which is unrelated to USPS and is a strong sign of fraud. This is meant to push you to a fake USPS website where scammers can steal your personal or payment information.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. Uses an attached USPS-style image with a QR code instead of a plain text link.

  2. Claims delivery failed because of an 'invalid ZIP Code,' matching a common USPS address-confirmation lure.

  3. Pushes the victim to scan a QR code, which can feel more official and less suspicious than a shortened link.

  4. The QR code reportedly resolved to orgo.sandalisneakers.com, a domain unrelated to USPS.

  5. Shows a long tracking number and a hold-until date to make the message look legitimate.

  6. Sent from an ordinary phone number rather than an official USPS short code or verified sender.

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: You receive a text saying a USPS parcel is on hold and needs your ZIP code or address confirmed within 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The message includes a link that looks official at a glance but isn’t the real usps.com (for example, usps.com-something.vip).

  3. 3

    Step 3: The fake site asks for your name, address, and often a small “redelivery fee,” pushing you to enter your credit card.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Once you submit details, scammers can charge your card, steal your identity, or send more scam messages.

✓ Do this

  • Go to the official USPS website by typing usps.com yourself or use the USPS app to check tracking.
  • Look up any tracking number on usps.com before doing anything.
  • Delete the text and report it to spam@uspis.gov or forward to 7726 (SPAM) if your carrier supports it.
  • Call your bank immediately if you entered card details on a suspicious site.

✗ Avoid this

  • Don’t click links in unexpected delivery texts, even if they say USPS or U.S. Customs.
  • Don’t enter your address, Social Security number, or payment info on sites you reached from a text.
  • Don’t reply to the text (even with STOP or Y) — it confirms your number is active.
