The fake FedEx text message is a scam, therefore, recipients are asked not to click the link in it. The fake text claims the recipients' item is detained pending delivery at a central warehouse and ask them to click the link to receive it. But, the link goes to a fake FedEx or phishing website that steals personal and financial information.
