Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
If you have received fake FedEx emails like the one below, which appears as if it was sent by FedEx, please do not follow the instructions in it because it is a phishing scam. The fake emails are being sent by cybercriminals 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 that steals account credentials, credit card, and personal information.
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.
