A new text message scam is disguising itself as a FedEx notification

It's an exhilarating feeling we can all relate to -- FedEx notifying you that your package has been delivered.

But before you mindlessly click on that text message that looks like it's from FedEx, take a second look because it could be a scam. Some people around the country are receiving text messages that show a supposed tracking code and link to"set delivery preferences." The text is deceiving as it uses the recipient's real name. The link directs people to a fake Amazon listing and then asks them to take a customer satisfaction survey, according to HowToGeek.com.

— Duxbury Police January 21, 2020 Isabel Benitez from Bakersfield, California, received the text on Monday, but she didn't fall for it. "I checked the FedEx page because I was curious and I knew I didn't order anything," Benitez said."I put the code in and it said no package and that the code was wrong, so yeah, I was like this is a scam." FedEx wants you to know that it would never send text messages or emails to customers that ask for money or personal information.

We got it the first million times we were told

Welcome to the Internet....

The same could be said about a story. 🙄🤷‍♂️

Before you mindlessly click on CNN, take a second because it’s likely biased fake news.

The first time Robin said text it sounded like 'tets' . So, naturally you look down. Hilarious.

Also, there shouldn’t be any letters in a FedEx tracking number. Biggest give away.

L'ho e una truffa.

Thank you for bringing attention to this!

People don’t text us anyways 😭
