This post is about a Fed-ex email and text message scam that wants you to respond to a package delivery notification.
See pictures below.
**Updated** (01/21/2023)
Updated post with a scam text message and additional pictures with a false link provided.
Text message red flags:
First and foremost, if your not expecting a package from Fed-ex then you should completely disregard the text and block the phone number.
The text message has a legit phone number and is not a VOIP which usually are scams. A legit phone number could easily fool anyone.
However, the link is highly suspect and not a legit Fed-ex text message.
The primary reason is because the link does not show any reference to Fed-ex and how it handles tracking their packages.
1. There are no references to fedex.com with the link provided.
2. The link provided is a random string of numbers and letters. Capitalized and lowercase.
3. There are no sign-up options for tracking the package.
The E-mail Red Flags:
1. Non consistent text of numbers, letters, and emojis in the e-mail header.
2. I don't recall Fed-ex ever sending tracking messages with emoji's in the email header.
3. The e-mail domain is suspect and doesn't reference Fed-ex in anyway.
4. Generic tracking number and link to click on.
5. Fictitious greeting name addressed in the email body text.
