If you recently received a text message about a pending package with a link, it's a phishing scam, according to authorities.
Most messages sent will start with the recipient's name and include a recent month in question.
"We came across a package from June owed to you. Please assume ownership and schedule for delivery here," an example of one of the phishing text messages read.
The scammers provide a link in the text message, when clicked on, prompts the user to fill out additional information, such as credit card information, CNET reported.
"Based on the information they obtain, cyber criminals can steal your identity, empty your bank account, or install malware in your phone," the Orange County Sheriff's Department said in a Facebook post on Monday.
It's best to ignore the message and/or block the phone number it came from, according to the sheriff's office.
