Email

Do you ever receive an email claiming to be from FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon or some other business involved in shipping that’s notifying you that a shipment is coming your way – when you know you never ordered anything?

Beware. Courier cons are on the rise. Bogus shipping confirmations contain links that once clicked deliver malware to your computer!

Experts always recommend that you never click on links in these types of emails. Instead, go to the bona fide website of the business that claims to be contacting you and check it out from there.
