Missed Delivery Reschedule Scam

You receive a note that a delivery attempt failed and you can reschedule by clicking a link. The link leads to a convincing but fake carrier page that asks you to pick a time and then enter address and card details for a small handling fee. Nothing was ever on its way; the goal is to harvest your information. These spike around holidays and big sale periods when real deliveries are common.

• A 'sorry we missed you' text with a reschedule link.
• A page that asks for card details to reschedule.
• A small fee to pick a new delivery window.
• A short deadline before the item is 'returned to sender.'

• Carriers leave a physical slip or update tracking — they do not text card-entry links.
• The link domain is not the real carrier.
• You are asked to pay to reschedule a free delivery.
• The message arrived for a package you did not order.

These are illustrative examples written by ScamSplain, not real messages.

• Your address and personal information.
• Your card number behind a small fee.
• A foothold to charge you again later.

• Do not tap the link; check tracking on the carrier's real site.
• Look for a real delivery slip at your door.
• If unsure, contact the store you ordered from.
• Delete and block the sender.
