USPS scam ?

Doesn't even matter, you don't need to shop online to get any of those messages. It's just a scammer blasting out a test message to probably tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of telephone numbers. Those numbers can come from anywhere, random number generators, previous hacks of any business that requires your phone number, damn near anything. And yeah, just because you don't shop online doesn't mean your phone number isn't online in dozens of different places.

LOL!!!Just wrap your head with aluminum foil for all the good it will do.

RFID scanning requires a person with a scanner to go out in public and scan for numbers. They have to be pretty close to you in order to do that, which opens them up to potential consequences. Or they can just buy a batch of 10,000 numbers online without ever leaving their computer. Which do you think is more likely?

A little common sense goes a long way.

Was walking in the grocery store. I was in the wide area between the registers and the food aisles. I carry my wallet in my cargo pants,left front pocket. This guy was walking in the opposite direction on the far side of the aisle near the registers. He was looking around, looked towards me and suddenly he started walking directly towards me. And I mean directly, as I continued to walk he kept altering direction to keep me in front of him. Really unnerving. ( I was expecting a knife in his hands but, they were empty). He got really close. I was about to punch him. Couldn't move away because, now, I was right along one of the food displays. He walked by within about 5 or 6 inches of me. I stopped and muttered , that's too close pal. He continued on and left the store. About 5 or 6 days later, I got a call from my bank about suspicious activity on my card. A purchase I did not make. I had to cancel the card and fill out a form from the bank.
Maybe it was coincidence. Maybe the idea of needing RFID card pouches is silly. They're about .85 cents a piece.

Sorry, to digress from the OP. Yes, those USPS messages that something is wrong with your shipment, please give a whole bunch of personal information , is a scam.
