Url looks suss. Seems kinda sophisticated for the usual ups fishing scam. Here's the text message I got leading here.

"Wishing you a bright and sunny day!" Lol, I almost want to help this guy by explaining that UPS and American companies in general have disdain for their customers and would never wish them to have anything that would not benefit the company.

(5) grammatical error(s): "We will ship again in" instead of "we will ship again on"

Edit: more subtle errors and phrasing that feels like it was written by a non-native English speaker.

    Yeah the first bullet copy with the comma and wrong preposition is clearly unprofessional. These scams always use poor contrasting red warning text as well.

    I heard a theory that they put mistakes in intentionally to filter for dumb people.

    Doubt that's true, but it's a funny idea.

    It's absolutely true, they want to make sure the victim won't realize it's a scam partway through and bail.
