Frequently asked questions

Does FedEx send tracking texts?▾

Only if you signed up via fedex.com or the shipper opted you in. Unsolicited 'your package is held' texts are smishing — paste yours into ScamGuard to confirm.

What's the FedEx smishing scam?▾

Bots blast SMS claiming a package needs an address update or a small redelivery fee. The link goes to a fake FedEx site that steals card details and may install malware.

What does a real FedEx text look like?▾

Real texts come from short codes (37473) and link to fedex.com. They never ask for card details to release a package.

What if I clicked the link?▾

If you only viewed the page, you're probably fine. If you entered card details, freeze the card. If you installed an app, factory-reset the phone.

Is it free?▾

Yes.
