The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to beware of fake shipping alerts during the holidays and always.

Cybercriminals send messages claiming lost or late packages from UPS, FedEx and the United States Postal Service, but you should be cautious.

Some of the signs include, unexpected delivery alerts and urgent claims of lost items.

You should look for bad grammer and bad spelling.

Some of the ways to protect yourself include verifying tracking numbers on official websites, contacting the delivery service directly for confirmation and avoiding clicking on suspicious links.
