I just received a text message that something could not be delivered because of an inadequate address. They wanted me to fill out a bunch of personal information. They quoted a tracking number. I put that tracking number into the post office tracking site and the results came back as an invalid number. Investigating further I concluded the source of the message was Great Britain, or one of the islands in the area. The folks had duplicated part of the USPS website. It pays to be cautious.

I get those fishing scams frequently. When there is the rare chance that there is a delivery issue, I right click or hover over the address it came from to see the real address. It's always some random BS address.

yea all of that is a scam, why anyone in 2023 thinks otherwise is beyond me.

Yup, as said above, a phishing scam most of them are obvious, but don't let your guard down.
