Fedex Ground Scam Text Message | What to Do Immediately

If you received a FedEx Ground scam text message, you’re not alone—this is a common phishing scam designed to trick you into clicking a malicious link or giving away personal information.

---

🚨 What the Scam Looks Like

The text usually says something like:

• “Your FedEx package is on hold. Click here to schedule a delivery…”

• “FedEx: You missed a delivery. Reschedule at [suspicious link]”

• “FedEx Ground tracking update: Your package requires action…”

The link often mimics a FedEx website (e.g., fedex-support.com, fedex.delivery-notice.com, etc.) but is not legit.

✅ What to Do Immediately

1. Do NOT click the link

• These links may:

  • Install malware

  • Steal your personal or payment info

  • Trick you into entering FedEx account login or payment info

2. Delete the message

• Do not reply, even with “STOP”

• That confirms your number is active and may result in more spam

3. Report the scam

• Forward the message to 7726 (SPAM) — works with most U.S. carriers

• Report to FedEx:

  • Email the message or screenshot to: abuse@fedex.com

• You can also report to:

  • FTC Complaint Assistant

  • Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker

4. Check your actual packages (if you’re expecting any)

• Only track via the official FedEx site:
  https://www.fedex.com

• Do NOT search the tracking number in Google—go directly to the FedEx website.

• Block the number that sent the message

• Consider using a spam filter app on your phone (e.g., Hiya, Truecaller)
