February 2020 Scam Alert

Last month FedEx issued a statement that scammers were using the company’s name to gather personal information through fake text messages. These texts included bogus links that would ask you to provide your credit card information. FedEx stated that they will never send unsolicited texts or emails to customers. If you receive a text that you believe to be a scam, delete it or you can forward it to abuse@fedex.com.

Many people also reported received similar text messages from Amazon. If you have concerns about your delivery, don't use the phone number or hyperlink provided in the text. It is important to remember to use caution whenever you receive any form of communication, especially ones that include hyperlinks because they could be downloading malware to your device.
