Quick answer
Fake delivery texts claim your package is held, failed delivery, or requires a small customs fee — and ask you to click a link to a non-official domain. Real carriers send tracking numbers and link only to their official websites.
What Our Tool Checks
Carrier name vs. sender number or shortcode
Link domain vs. official carrier domain (usps.com, fedex.com, dhl.com)
Customs fee or redelivery charge demands
Presence of a real tracking number
Urgency framing about package return or cancellation
Common Warning Signs
No actual tracking number in the message
Link to a domain other than the carrier's official site
Small fee ($1–$5) demanded to release the parcel
'Package will be returned in 24 hours' urgency
Carrier is USPS but message came from a UK or overseas number
What Not to Submit
To protect your privacy, never paste these into any tool — and never submit passwords, OTPs, card numbers, bank logins, or private IDs.
Credit card details via a text link
Your home address via an unverified form
Personal ID to 'verify' your delivery
What to Do If Something Looks Suspicious
Track directly on the carrier's official website using your actual tracking number
Never pay a fee by clicking a link in a text message
