Another Day and Another New Scam
Your phone goes off, it's a text message from FedEx, stating that they need you to update your delivery preferences, along with a tracking number. They even thoughtfully include a link to click on, so you can take care of it right then. But, you aren't even expecting a delivery. If you get an email or a text like that, do NOT click the link, it's just another scam. People doing anything they can to separate you from your hard-earned money.
But, you aren't even expecting a delivery. If you get an email or a text like that, do NOT click the link, it's just another scam. People doing anything they can to separate you from your hard-earned money.
The way the scam works, you click the link, there could be malware to gain access to your device, or there is a survey you can take for "free." Note, the website with the survey looks legit, but, it is a fake one, and they will ask you for your credit card information to pay for shipping of an item, and then charge you more every month. Hence, the scam.
