Delivery Texts from Shipping Carriers

We’re all receiving more shipments these days, and that’s caused a rise in some very effective shipping scams where a phishing text pretends to be from a carrier like FedEx or UPS with important updates about your shipment.

They may ask you to set a delivery preference, ask you to fill out a survey, give you a fake shipment tracker link (which can be malware or may ask for your credit card number), or even promise a reward for shipping. Check directly with the mail carrier instead of answering the text.
