October 17, 2022 (Chesapeake, VA) – Sheriff Jim O’Sullivan has received several reports of residents targeted by the internet phishing scam. Residents reported receiving a text message claiming to be from the United States Postal Service (USPS). The text says that the USPS is returning a package because the delivery address is incomplete. The message directs the resident to click on the provided link to update the delivery instructions.
