alt Hacker News> pretending to be a tracking service for something you supposedly ordered
There’s a leak or someone is selling the data in a lot of the delivery companies in my country. I order something then without fail the fake text message pretending to be the delivery service. Only thing they screw up is claiming it’s failed to deliver too soon and the weird urls.
Messed up these companies are either selling it or being irresponsible with data.
Seems to be involved with government services too. I signed up for a welfare program that had me input all my data before denying me the service a few months ago, and the next day I started receiving spam calls and texts using some unique pieces of information that I had submitted in that form.
Called my state senators to complain about it and ask for assistance. Enjoyed the complete lack of follow through.
