Just a quick question about scams we should be aware of. A question re: UPS.

Does UPS ever send you emails or text messages regarding suspended orders for which they require more info from you? This so sounds like a scam to me but I have never encountered this one before. Does anyone out there have any experience with this? Please share what happened. I'm stumped this time. I cannot find any order I placed that was being shipped with UPS. But I did place an order that never arrived. :unsure:

If you are in doubt chic, contact the place where
you placed the order and ask about it, or ask who
they use as a carrier, don't reply to the email.

I have had several emails, over the past few months,
supposedly from carriers, including UPS, luckily for
me, I had no missing deliveries, but I would still have
treated them with caution.

One way to check, is to read the email address from
the sender, then if there is a button or a place that you
are supposed to click, just hover your "Mouse Cursor",
over that area and look at the bottom left of your screen,
that will show you where any reply will be going to, it is
usually different if it is a scam.

Never ever click a dodgy or suspect email.

No, they wouldn't have your email address or text number to begin with. The seller might email you if they couldn't provide the item you purchased.

Yes and no... I get them, but they're not from UPS. I think I've had a few FedEx like that, too. If I order something online that would be delivered from either place, they generally don't have my email address, just the place I ordered from would have that.

Real delivery places make sure you can see where your package is at all times. You might temporarily not see it when and if it crosses different country borders. Just hang up or delete message.
 
Update. The email from UPS was a scam. The package arrived late this afternoon and came USPS! I was going to say. I didn't order anything that was being shipped to me UPS. Please be careful everyone. There are so many scammers after unsuspecting people.
