It’s not about whether the tracking number is legit but whether that tracking number has anything to do with someone’s actual address or a package being sent to them. The status of the tracking number, if legit, should be enough to verify the contents of the original message. In my experience, when the address has been wrong, or input incorrectly, I’ll see some sort of message about difficulty with the address and how it set the address to something or requested information.

Then no reason to even question the validity of the original message.

They give you the package info. Just ignore their email and input that into the USPS address manually. Kind of like the FedEx and UPS scams. You don’t have to use their link to “check the status” of something. Go to the real site, enter number, see fake, ignore!

For the work passwords I have to remember and cannot always access a password manager, I use pass phrases instead. Statistically, 3 random, non-similar words, are more secure than normal passwords. Changing random letters to symbols and capitalizing can further improve the security. For instance…
