Today I received two suspicious text messages [on my iPhone]: Today I received two suspicious text messages: "usps.ajnonrtdg@wxzi...8:43 AM The USPS package has arrived at the warehouse and cannot be delivered due to incomplete address information. Please c....."; and, "usps.amyrfxudb@jdnk [rest is same as previous message]". Interesting that these same messages are not being synced with my Mac Studio via iCloud. I have not opened these messages but would like to completely jettison these messages before they do any damage. What to do?
