New Jersey residents targeted by 'smishing' scam posing as USPS, beware suspicious tracking links. Why have I never heard of this before. I think I remember getting this notice from the United States Postal Service around the holidays, but now since it's Easter, I guess Grandparents and family members send packages through the mail.

The latest FBI warning includes toll scams, but adds bogus messages from package delivery companies, Forbes reports. The tactic is known as “smishing” — a combination of “SMS (Short Message Service ice) and “phishing” — and it uses text messages to trick people into giving out sensitive personal information.
