BE PREPARED AND PROACTIVE WITH OUR ONLINE SECURITY AND SAFETY TIPS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We’re serious about your privacy and security. But today’s cybercriminals can be
convincing. Here are two important things to remember:


 * We never request payment or personal information in exchange for releasing a
   package.
 * If you get a suspicious email, do not reply or cooperate with the sender.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FedEx does not request, via unsolicited mail, email, or text, any personal
information pertaining to your account credentials or identity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you get a suspicious email, do not reply or cooperate with the sender.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


KNOW THE COMMON WARNING SIGNS OF A SCAM TO PREVENT FRAUD

 * Urgent request for money in return for the delivery of your packages.
 * Requests for your personal and financial information.
 * Misspelled website or email addresses, like fedx.com or fed-ex.com.
 * Spelling and grammatical errors, or excessive capitalization and exclamation
   points.
 * Claims that you have won a large sum of money.
 * A message that appears when you click a link, warning you that the connection
   isn't secure. This means the browser you use recognizes a security risk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BE ON GUARD AGAINST FRAUD EVERY DAY

 * Watch for text messages or emails saying there’s a problem with your FedEx
   shipment.
   
 * Use secure payment methods to pay for your shipments. Don’t wire money or
   send money orders or cash. Using secure payment methods also makes it easier
   to dispute a fraudulent charge.
 * Keep your FedEx account and credit card numbers safe, and don’t share them.
 * Avoid using public computers to send sensitive information or log in to your
   accounts.
 * Update your computer, browser, and software as needed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INTERACTED WITH A MESSAGE AND LOST MONEY, CONTACT YOUR BANK
IMMEDIATELY.*

Also consider contacting the Internet Crime Complaint Center or your state
Attorney General’s office.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Disclaimer: FedEx is not responsible for damages, charges or costs incurred as a
result of fraudulent activity under the pretext of the FedEx name, service marks
or logos.

FedEx

Contact required


Another common FedEx scam relies on contacting you by email or phone, asking you
to resolve an issue with a shipment. Once contact is made, the attacker uses
social engineering techniques to attempt to defraud you. The email is typically
vague and provides little or no details of the shipment.

Subject: We need to talk to you

We need to talk to you about your parcel write us at
fedex.expressbn@yahoo.com.hk or call +2347038680000

Delivery failure


This set of fraudulent emails claims to be from FedEx regarding a package that
could not be delivered. These emails ask the receiver to open an attachment in
order to obtain the airbill or invoice needed to pick up their package. The
attachment in the email may contain a virus. Please do not open the attachment,
and delete the email immediately.

The frequency of this email tends to increase close to the holiday season,
presumably to exploit the growth in shipping volumes.

Subject: Fed Ex Delivery Notification

Unfortunately we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on December
the 14 in time because the recipient's address is not correct. Please print out
the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.

Your FEDEX

FedEx status


These fraudulent emails appear to originate from a FedEx employee. The body of
the message may contain a fake notice related to FedEx services or may contain
only a random phrase or sentence. Be aware that the attachment contained in the
email may contain a computer virus. Do not open the attachment. Delete the email
immediately.

 

Subject: Fedex Tracking number N4815347

From: "Fedex Manager, Willis Grabinger"

Dear. Unfortunately we failed to deliver the postal package you have sent on the
27th of July in time because the recipient's address is erroneous. Please print

OTHER COMMON TYPES OF FRAUD

Credit card fraud


This form of identity theft is committed when someone uses your card without
your permission. Keep an eye out for:

 * Incorrect charges on your bank statements.
 * Mistakes on your credit report.
 * A temporary hold placed by your bank on your card or account.

Instant messaging (IM) attack


Similar to email attacks, malware is launched when you click on a hyperlink in
an instant message that then links through to a malicious website. The malware
can be spread through your IM chat sessions to others.

Malware


Software that can infect your computer or phone to steal information or cause
damage. Malware can be spread through hyperlinks and attachments.

Phishing


A perpetrator sends you an email that looks legitimate, but they’re trying to
steal your personal and financial information. The messages usually appear to
come from well-known and trustworthy web sites.

Ransomware


Scammers use ransomware, a type of malware, to hijack your computer. They then
demand a ransom to give you back control of your tech. Ransomware can be spread
through hyperlinks and attachments.

Search engine phishing


These scams involve directing you to malicious sites through a search engine.
The site may offer low-cost products or services like credit cards or loans. If
you enter your credit card information, it’s collected by the phishing site.

Smishing


Similar to email and IM attacks, links are delivered to your mobile device via
text messaging. Malware is launched when you click on a hyperlink that takes you
to a malicious website.

Social engineering


This is a non-technical kind of scam. It often relies on criminals tricking you
into breaking normal security procedures or divulging confidential information.
The perpetrator may try to appeal to you on an emotional level.

Spearphishing


Your company or organization may be targeted in a spearfishing email attack. The
scammer may request unauthorized access to confidential data or money. For
example, a cybercriminal poses as your CEO to try and trick you into sending
cash.

Vishing


The telephone version of phishing is vishing. You receive a message asking you
to call a number to settle an account or fix an error. The perpetrator wants to
get your personal information. If they get it, they could use it to access your
account or open credit cards in your name.




REPORT A SCAM TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

Please forward your phishing e-mails to abuse@fedex.com. If you feel you have
been a victim of one of these other scams, consider contacting the Federal Trade
Commission, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, and/or your local law
enforcement.
