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

Do you have an order?

If there is no matching order in your real shopping account, treat the delivery story as unverified.

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.

Missed delivery does not require a rushed payment.

Verify the order from a known account before you do anything else.
