Is this a scam?

Witchie

Not sure if there is a parcel due to come to me coz only thing I am waiting on from ebay are some shoe laces but that is not to say that there isn't a prize from a competition or something winging my way that I am unaware of.

What should I do?

is it ticking???






























BOOM!

Go to your nearest office and show them that receipt.

Poor Uncle Tom

I need your bank account details to answer that.

Hippies!

Undelivered post goes to the depot not to "your nearest post office"

Witchie

@super_furry am worried about clicking on the receipt button in case it triggers some sort of virus that's why was checking in here.

Don't do it!! It's a trap!!

The only thing that awaits you at the post office is rape and lots of it.

I bet it's a MacBook Pro that you won in that competition you didn't enter.

Yes I would be too but perhaps you could email fedex with the Order No. thats given to see if it's genuine?

Hard to believe but some clever types frequent here and occasionally give the answer you are looking for.

Sure it may be rare, but it does happen!

Not sure if serious..

I got two of those emails too, but deleted them as I presumed they were just a scam. Would be interested though to know if there was actually a genuine parcel awaiting me.........

It looked more like an email to me.

If you hover your mouse over the link to be clicked, you should be able to see the URL for the link. You will probably find that it is NOT a fedex.com link. It might be something like fedex.mydomain.com or similar, but not a real fedex link. What URL are you getting.

On a similar note An post sends registered letters to people who haven't paid there tv licences, If the postman cant get your signature if your out he leaves his note saying go to the post office to collect it, you do and then your bolloxed

Urban Myth. They can't use a signature for post for the TV licence, you could easily have moved out and are just picking up the mail.

Definitely not Fedex then. Always check the domain of the url.
