"Fedex Email Containing Confidential Personal Information Was Sent To You" Scam
Fedex Email Containing Confidential Personal Information Was Sent To You Scam

The email message below, which appears as if it was sent by FedEx, claiming an email containing confidential personal information was sent to the recipients, is a phishing scam. The fake email message was sent by cybercriminals and not by FedEx, to trick the recipients into clicking on the link within it, which will take them to a malicious or compromised website, where they will be asked to download and install viruses and malware disguised as a document. The recipients may also be taken to a phishing website, where they will be asked to sign into their email accounts or other online accounts.

But, once the recipients attempt to sign into the fake or phishing website with their account credentials (username and password), it will be sent to the cybercriminals behind the scam, who will use the stolen credentials to hijack the recipients’ accounts. Therefore, recipients of the fake email message (see below), who were tricked into clicking on the link within it, should change their online account passwords and scan their computers or mobile devices for viruses and malware.

I received an e-mail, went into my spam box (yahoo.com) saying I had 4 broken e-mails and I was to click on a link to have them restored. The sender address was ereisiza-bountymailings.com. Entered bountymailings.com and the only match was a pregnancy advice site in England, so I presume this is either phishing or an attempt to install mlaware.

Has this been reported by anyone else? Saw no references to this anywhere.

No, there is no consequence for opening the link. The link must be clicked, the malware downloaded, and installed or executed before your computer can get infected.

I got this email yesterday too. It was put in my Junk folder and I just happened to open the folder today and saw it. It was considered by my email's filter system as fake and untrustworthy.

I googled FedEx and the phrase from content preview and got here. Most people don't have association with FedEx, and real FedEx address wouldn't be sent to Junk/Spam folder. Always look up unfamiliar senders before even consider opening. Scammers would use well-known company names.

It is a scam or fake. The people behind the scam are stealing your money. Do Not send them your information or money.

If you sent your money using Western Union or another money transfer service you will not be able to get back your money, if the money has been collected. Nonetheless, contact the money transfer company for help.

But there is a person on fb claiming to work for fb and told me about this winning, about a week ago and sent me pictures also. So when I see the pictures of person claiming to be from fb, I recognize something. Its the same picture from a woman on fb. Is there anything I can do to put this son of a b*tch in a cell.

Agree -- very annoying -- and some people are taken in by this garbage. Get on it, Fed Ex!

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Jefferson, Pennsylvania, United States

Agree, but, it's not really FedEx's problem. Just because scammers use the FedEx name doesn't all of a sudden mean that FedEx is somehow tied into it.

Law enforcement are the ones who can handle these scammers, but sadly, they are more than likely overseas, and will never see a day in jail.

I also received a scam email in my spam box, but deleted it with all my other spam, didn't give it a second thought.

People, it's real easy. If you get an email that looks suspicious, or you don't know where it came from, just delete it and not worry about it. It is most likely a spam email, which is why it is in your spam folder! Half the time, I don't even look to see what's in my spam folder, unless waiting for a response from somewhere, I just click on the trash can and it empties out the entire spam folder without me having to go into the actual spam folder.

And here's a very helpful side note: If you ever do read a spam email and it says something about sending money to get something great and wonderful, IT WILL BE A SCAM. And any email that you are unsure of, simply delete it and forget it.
