Scamming - Fraud
The website, fedexparcel.co, is a fake being used by scammers. The scammers trick potential victims into visiting the fake FedEx website by sending them the fake text below. The fake text claims the recipients missed a parcel delivery and should click the link to fedexparcel.co in order to book a redelivery. If the link is clicked, the potential victims will be taken to the fake website where they will be asked to make payment and provide personal and financial information.
Fedex: Sorry we missed you earlier, we have your parcel, to book a redelivery please visit hxxps://fedexparcel.co?tracking=78984136

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
