Url looks suss. Seems kinda sophisticated for the usual ups fishing scam. Here's the text message I got leading here.

"Wishing you a bright and sunny day!" Lol, I almost want to help this guy by explaining that UPS and American companies in general have disdain for their customers and would never wish them to have anything that would not benefit the company.

Report this at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/.

Also, because they’re using Bitly for URL obfuscation report it to them at https://bitly.com/pages/trust/report-abuse.

For any of the fake domains you run into report it to both the registrar of the domain as well as the owner of the actual IP address it points to.
