I got a text message a couple days ago from “USPS service”, saying a package was delayed due to an incomplete door number. They provided a shorturl link to update my address. My phone automatically flagged it as potential spam, but even aside from that, there were several red flags.

I believe that Scamorzikstan is on the East/West border of Russia; right next to Putinistan.
