Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are sending the Ship Status GB scam text to potential victims in the UK. The scam text message claims a Kieran tried to deliver a shipment but no one was at home so they should reschedule by clicking a link in it that goes to the fake and phishing FedEx UK website at ship-status-gb.com.
Kieran tried to deliver your shipment today, but no one was home. To re-organise a new date for this, please visit: hxxps ://ship-status-gb.com
On the phishing website, visitors will be asked to make a payment. But, if the requested personal and financial information that the website claims is needed for the payment is submitted, it will be sent to the scammers, who will use it fraudulently.
Therefore, online users who have been tricked into submitting their financial information on the Ship Status GB scam website, are asked to contact their bank for help.
Recipients of the scam text are asked not to click the link in it. They may post it in a comment below along with the telephone number it came to help inform others.
