[QUOTE="calcol, post: 8433795, member: 77639"]Apparently, some shippers have had their computer systems hacked. When the shipper sends something FedEx, the hackers get the info including address, email and phone number of the intended recipient. The hackers can then send realistic emails or texts that seen valid because the intended recipient really is expecting a shipment from the specific shipper. I've gotten a couple of fake texts via this method stating some additional money is needed to finish the shipment. There is always something not right in the URL of the email or the URL the message in the email or text that it wants you to click. If it's not fedex.com or [URL="http://www.fedex.com"]www.fedex.com[/URL] exactly, beware. If you click on the link (try not to!), and you're asked for a credit card number, social security number or bank account number, it's probably a phishing attempt. Cal[/QUOTE]
