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.
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!
That number isn't even anything like a tracking number for USPS.
Then no reason to even question the validity of the original message.
Be careful with this! Sometimes they use real tracking ids!
You can't trust it even if the package exists.
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.
