Fake Delivery Text Checker Tool

Fake package delivery texts are one of the most common scams right now. These messages often claim you have a delivery problem, a missed package, or a tracking issue, then push you to click a link to “fix” it. The link may look official, but it can lead to a fake website designed to collect personal information, payment details, or login credentials.

The Fake Delivery Text Checker Tool helps you recognize common warning signs and follow safer next steps. It does not confirm fraud with certainty, but it can highlight patterns that often show up in package tracking scams so you can slow down, verify safely, and avoid risky taps.

This tool is designed for older adults who want clear guidance without technical overwhelm.

How to Use This Tool

Select what you noticed in the delivery text message. You might choose that the message included a strange link, asked for a small “redelivery fee,” claimed your address was wrong, or sounded urgent.

After you choose an option, the tool will show safer next steps and practical reminders. You can also print the results or save them as a PDF for reference.

If you were not expecting a package, that alone can be a helpful clue to pause before taking action.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

Does this tool confirm a delivery text is a scam?

No. This tool provides general awareness guidance and highlights common warning signs, but it cannot verify every message with certainty. When unsure, it is safest to pause and confirm through official sources.

Is it safe to click tracking links from text messages?

Not always. Many scams use tracking links that look real. A safer approach is to open the carrier’s official website or app directly and check tracking there.

Why do scammers ask for a small redelivery fee?

Small fees are often used because they feel believable and quick. If someone enters a card, the scam can capture payment information or lead to larger fraudulent charges.

What if I was expecting a package?

If you were expecting a delivery, check your retailer order page or the official shipping carrier tracking page directly. Avoid entering personal information into pages opened from random texts.

What should I do if I already clicked the link?

Close the page and avoid entering information. If you entered payment details or personal info, consider contacting your bank or card provider and changing any related account passwords through official websites.
