Text claiming they are FedEx and they have a package, with website link. Didnt click on it.
I do get a lot of these messages and I delete them all.
My identical scam text (plus three extra digits to the tracking number) last night was shown as being from 447306417496.
Yep just had the same...Scam
Received the same ‘ Kyle ‘ scam on Friday 13 th. The same link fedex.co?tracking and so on. Could only get as far as the suggested dates for redelivery, so no damage there. Pity FedEx couldn’t flag the scam when over the phone I was asked for tracking no which I indicated was 78984136755. The answer was ‘ we have no record of this tracking no ‘. ??
when you are asked for your birth date,for a parcel delivery just be careful.
I have just received the same message, and am expecting parcel from India (?!) I didn't click on it but went online to the usual fedex site and there was no trace of the tracking number
Fedex: Sorry we missed you, your driver Kyle won't be back today. Rearrange your delivery here: https://fedexparcel.co?tracking=78984136755This is the text I just received. I clicked the link but fortunately didn't enter any information. I'm expecting a parcel from UPS so I almost fell for it thinking the seller had switched delivery company's!
That is exactly the message I recieved glad I saw this first they usually leave a card if your not in .They should flog these theiving gits .
It's a very convincing website, until I checked here I could have been fooled. Though the fact that they didn't know the delivery address and asked me to enter it is a bit of a giveaway!
I also had a text on my mobile phone telling me that they had parcel to deliver. I was surprised as I wasn't expecting a parcel. Then I realised that it was a scam. I had heard of the Post Office being used in this way but hadn't seen this company before.I blocked the number on my mobile phone, then received another from a diffferent number!They are very persistant
I received this too and feel really stupid because I fell for it. Gave them my DOB, address and card number! It wasn’t until I sat and thought about it afterwards that I realised it was a scam. Luckily cancelled my card before any money was taken but now scared that they have my name, address and DOB. Any advice would be very welcome! 🙏
Just received this scam text message.
Me too, very nearly fell for it as I am expecting a FedEx parcel 🤬
This scam is still active
the home page looks legit, but it's a photoshopped screengrab of the real fedex site, & the scammers haven't bothered to liven up the links at the bottom (site map, privacy &c). also no padlock in the address bar. if you go to the real fedex.com tracking page & put the number in from the text message, it's unrecognised.also, fedex tend to invoice you separately, not as a part of the delivery process.
I got the same text but I knew I had not ordered anything so I did not click on the link. Instead I got to my computer to find out if it was a scam. So thank you for your information. It is a SCAM.
I too was expecting a parcel and fell asleep and then when I got this text thought I'd miss somebody knocking at my door so immediately clicked on the link. how stupid-my parcel is going to be delivered not by FedEx so this obviously was a phishing scam!!! these evil f****** b******s need locking up putting in prison forever trying to scam people. why don't they f****** well get up early and go out to work they must be as evil as anything! was worried about this putting something on my phone so it's been all day trying to find out about it, making phone calls, wasted a whole day. terribly inconvenient. I hope karma gets the evil who tried to scam me
I received this text today and because I am waiting on multiple deliveries I presumed it was valid. Fortunately I didn’t divulge any financial details as I thought it was a bit strange. The link on the phone didn’t work so I went on line to set up an account and now wish I hadn’t.
