I want to know the scam behind the rash of SMS message I and many of my friends have gotten recently. The text is different each time, but similar to:

Johnny, urgent alert regarding your USPS shipment 6G55M7 from 03/25/2020. Go to: [url redacted]

For the past couple of weeks I've gotten one of these every day or so, always from a different number. I keep marking them spam, but I doubt that helps if they just keep making up new numbers.

I haven't had the courage to click on the link to see where it goes.

Does the link try to exploit my browser or download malware? Is it just an old fashioned phishing attack?
