Noticed something with some scam messages

[mikephillips]

So I've gotten a couple of those "we can't deliver" message on the phone in the last couple days. I know they're scams but I found it interesting that one showed as coming from some email named Elena with a Russian country code. The other, had a phone number as origin with a Virginia area code, and a +63 country code which is the Philippines. Both wanted me to use a one letter different USPS site to enter my "missing" address and other personal info. Course I didn't but I found it interesting that where they originated was hidden or such. Maybe new people at it or just figured I wouldn't pay attention I suppose.

I get those all the time. I figured that the USPS wouldn’t be sending texts from the Philippines.

It is amazing to me how often I get versions of the same email from the same sender. This particularly in the Spam section of my gmail. I think it is a reminder that we have a relatively few bad players spamming relentlessly as opposed to reletively many bad players spamming occasionally.

Is this a different version of the scam email?
Nothing in the from line.
Nothing in the subject line
Just an address.
I just delete it.

If I had collected the $100 rewards multiple companies have been sending me lately I could retire.
Oh, I'm already retired - never mind!

I've been getting these can't deliver messages on my phone as a text message, so it's been showing me a from address.
