FedEx Text Scam | How to Identify

If you received a FedEx text message that seems suspicious, it may be part of a FedEx text scam — a type of phishing scam designed to trick you into clicking malicious links or giving away personal information.

🚨 How to Identify a FedEx Text Scam

Here are common signs:

❌ 1. Unsolicited Tracking Links

• Example:
  "FedEx: Your package is on hold. Track it here: fedex.delivery-update123.com"
  (This is not a real FedEx URL)

❌ 2. Urgent Language or Threats

• Phrases like:

  • “Your package will be returned unless you act now.”

  • “Click to avoid extra fees.”

❌ 3. Suspicious URLs

• Real FedEx links will come from:
  fedex.com, fedex.ca, or their official subdomains.

• Scammers use fake domains like:

  • fedex-alerts.info

  • delivery-fedex.xyz

❌ 4. Requests for Personal Information

• Real FedEx will never ask via text for:

  • Social Security numbers

  • Credit card details

  • Login credentials

✅ What to Do If You Get One

1. Do Not Click the Link

• It may install malware or take you to a fake site.

• Forward the text to 7726 (SPAM) — this alerts your mobile carrier.

• You can also report it to:

  • FedEx: abuse@fedex.com

  • FTC (U.S. only): reportfraud.ftc.gov

3. Block the Number

• On most phones, you can tap the message, then block the sender.

4. Check Your Real FedEx Packages

• Go to https://www.fedex.com and enter your tracking number there.

• You can also sign in to your official FedEx account to see your deliveries.

🧼 If You Already Clicked the Link:

• Do not enter any information.

• Clear your browser history/cache.

• Run a security scan on your device.

• If you gave out sensitive info, consider:

  • Freezing your credit

  • Monitoring bank activity

  • Changing affected passwords
