01What is Delivery & Shipping?

Delivery scams exploit the surge in online shopping by sending fake delivery notifications via text or email. These messages claim a package couldn't be delivered and ask you to click a link to reschedule, pay a small fee, or update your address. The links lead to phishing sites.

With billions of packages shipped annually, the odds of these messages reaching someone who is actually expecting a delivery are high. The scammers don't need to know anything about you — they send millions of messages and profit from the small percentage who fall for it.

These scams are particularly effective because they combine urgency (your package is waiting) with a low-cost request ($1.99 redelivery fee) that seems harmless but actually captures full credit card details.

02How to identify this scam.

01Text message claiming delivery failed with a link to reschedule
02Request for payment to redeliver or release a package from customs
03The tracking number doesn't work on the carrier's official website
04Sender number or email doesn't match the carrier's official communications
05You're not expecting any deliveries
06Link URL doesn't match the carrier's domain (e.g., "usps-tracking-update.com")

03Real examples.

Case · 01

A text from "USPS" says your package is being held at the facility due to an incomplete address. Click a link to update your address and pay a $1.99 redelivery fee.

USPS doesn't charge redelivery fees
The link goes to "usps-redelivery.top" not usps.com
The page asks for full credit card details for a $1.99 charge
Case · 02

An email from "DHL Express" says a package from overseas requires a customs payment of $35. The email includes DHL branding and a payment link.

You're not expecting an international shipment
Customs fees are paid by the sender or at delivery
The email comes from a non-DHL domain

04What to do.

01Check deliveries directly on the carrier's official website using your real tracking number
02Don't click links in delivery notifications — go to the website directly
03Remember: USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL don't ask for payment via text links
04Report suspicious delivery texts to 7726 (SPAM) in the US
05Delete the message and block the sender

05Report it.
