What I learned is that this is a Google Voice ""cover"" #. Cover may not be the proper term, but I have a Google Voice phone # myself that I use for business purposes. GVoice gives you a ""cover"" # that's different from your cell # but it rings to your cell, preventing someone from needing to get 2 phones for business and personal use. It appears this # also shows when kids who don't have cell phones try to contact another friend through Google Hangouts or some feature like that. So in our case, this call came from one of my son's actual friends. My son gave his friend my cell # to give to the boy's mom, but the boy ended up calling me himself. So don't believe mine should be categorized as Spam but would be helpful for parents and people to know how all this works before giving kids access to it.

This was a text that didn't go to my spam folder like every other USPS scam had gone. This one said my package was on hold. I needed to click their link to update my address so they could attempt to deliver the package within 24 hours. I didn't click the link and both my packages arrived as scheduled. This, this was spam.
