Receiving text messages from pscript.io

I am getting messages to my cell phone. But I’m not a newbie so I’m wondering if these are real?

Wyze: Not sure where to start? These are the top-rated Wyze products our customers swear by:

  • Wyze Cam v4 (2K HD w/built-in spotlight): https://wyze. pscrpt. io/xxxx

  • Wyze Cam Pan v3 (Pan and tilt): https://wyze. pscrpt. io/xxxx

  • Wyze Battery Cam Pro (Wire-free):
    https://wyze. pscrpt. io/xxxx

My best guess is that it’s legitimate SMS marketing, because wyze.pscrpt.io redirects to www.wyze.com. I haven’t ever seen these, and I’m not sure where a customer would opt out, because I don’t see it in the account when I log into the Web site. I’ve always had  Account ➜ About ➜ Opt Out of Data Sharing toggled ON, but I don’t know if that would affect these kinds of SMS messages.

@crazygirl

The provided URL’s are not Wyze owned, to my knowledge. Normally pscript is python related. Not sure who owns as nothing shows up for it.

I would be careful with those.

@Crease may have looked into deeper. However, any link that looks odd, I always stay away from it

Oh, yeah. For sure, I think skepticism is a good part of personal safety. Like I said, I’m just guessing based on some rudimentary investigation, because it looks like these are being sent via Postscript (postscript.io), which is apparently an SMS marketing platform for vendors who use Shopify (Wyze does). Note this quote from an article in their Help Center:

Postscript allows you to customize a subdomain for your short link (i.e., myshop.pscrpt.io)

Note also that I’m going from the partial/obscured URLs in your post, not the “pscript.io” that you mentioned in your topic’s title. That could be an entirely different domain/owner/entity.

Yea, I saw the Postscript. io and agree with what you are saying. However, I was strictly looking at what was provided “Pscript. io”.

In all cases, I would still be careful. If unsure, don’t click. :slight_smile:

Right. I think part of the confusion may be pscript.io mentioned in the post title and pscrpt.io (without the i) mentioned in the text of the first post, and that’s why I was explicit in my suggested explanations.

Caution is good. :+1:

SMS marketing no es bueno, but that’s just me. I’d probably feel different and think it’s less annoying if I was trying to sell something.
