Delivery scam safety guide
Fake package delivery text? Do not pay from the link.
Scammers imitate delivery companies with missed-delivery notices, small redelivery fees, customs charges, or address-confirmation requests. The message may be convincing even when the link is not.
What to question
Is there a tiny fee?
A small payment request can be used to collect card details or move you into a fake support flow.
Does the link match?
Look at the destination without opening it when possible. Misspelled names and unrelated domains are strong warnings.
Is it demanding action now?
Urgency around a delivery is designed to make you ignore the safer option: checking the official account.
Verify a delivery without the text
Check your real order account
Open the retailer or carrier app from your device, not from the message. Look for a matching tracking number.
Use the official website
Type the known address yourself and search there. Do not use phone numbers or links supplied by the suspicious text.
Discard unexpected payment requests
If the carrier cannot confirm the request through its official channel, do not pay or enter card information.
Still unsure? Remove tracking numbers and personal details, then run a first-pass review with the MindDividend Shield checker.
Quick answers before you pay
How can I check whether a delivery text is real?
Open the retailer or carrier app yourself and look for a matching order or tracking number. Do not use the text's link or phone number to verify it.
Should I pay a redelivery fee from a text message?
Do not pay from an unexpected message. Verify the request through the official retailer or carrier account and its known website first.
What if I entered card details on a delivery link?
Contact your bank or card provider through a known route, ask about protecting or stopping the payment, change any exposed password, and preserve the message for reporting.
