FedEx Scam Email

A quick look at a fake FedEx email. A close look reveals that this email is really not from FedEx.

October 20, 2014 by Laura Peters Leave a Comment

Most scam emails give hints to their malicious intent. In most, you will find that they are littered with vague references, strange emails, nonsensical links, grammatical errors, and misspellings.

Here is a look at a recent scam email from FedEx. When you look closely, you can see that there are many clues that it is not indeed from FedEx.

Here are the significant signs that this email is not legitimate:

  • The sending email address: mailto:support@creatoys.com has nothing to do with FedEx. If it were really from FedEx, the sending address would end in ‘fedex.com.’
  • The Subject Line: This is very vague, and the ID code is made- up.
  • Greeting: If FedEx had your email address and Customer ID number, they would have your name as well and address the email with your name.
  • Wording: ‘has arrived on October 17’ just does not make any sense.
  • Get Shipment label link: You can check on the link by hovering your mouse over it; NOT CLICKING the link. You can see that the link goes to a website that has nothing to do with FedEx. If you were to click this link, your machine would most likely be infected with malware.
