Fake delivery message

Delivery scams commonly ask for a small fee or address correction to steal card or login details.

Pause before acting. Do not use links, phone numbers, or apps provided by a suspicious sender.

What to check first

Use the points below as a decision checklist, not as a guarantee. Criminal campaigns change quickly and may use correct names, logos, and details taken from earlier breaches.

  • check the tracking number manually
  • open the carrier’s official app
  • do not pay through a text-message link
  • compare the real domain

A safer sequence of actions

  1. Stop the current interaction. Do not click again, reply, pay, or install software.
  2. Open the official service independently by typing a known address or using an installed app.
  3. If credentials, payment data, or device access were exposed, start the incident plan immediately.
  4. Preserve evidence and use the official reporting channel in your country.

What this guide cannot determine

No checklist can prove that a message, website, caller, or device is safe. When money, identity, or account access is at risk, verify through an independent official channel and seek qualified help when needed.
