Package delivery scams are one of the highest-volume search topics because almost everyone receives parcels and shipping updates. That makes fake courier texts feel believable. A small customs fee, address problem, or redelivery charge seems harmless until the page steals your card details or personal data. This guide shows you how to check those messages before you tap the link.
What a package delivery scam checker should look for
A fake delivery scam typically says your package could not be delivered, your address is incomplete, or a small customs or redelivery fee is due. The message often pretends to be USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, or another courier. It then links to a fake payment or identity form that looks like a real tracking page but is hosted on an unrelated domain.
Top red flags to watch for
1. The courier asks for a small payment or customs charge through a link in an unexpected text.
2. The tracking domain does not belong to the real delivery company.
3. The message is vague about the package, merchant, or order details and relies on urgency instead.
4. You were not expecting a package from that courier, or the timeline does not match your real orders.
How to check it with AskdwinAI
Step 1. Paste the delivery text into AskdwinAI to see whether it matches known courier scam wording and pressure tactics.
Step 2. If there is a link, analyze it before opening to inspect redirects and the final destination.
Step 3. Track your package only through the merchant you ordered from or by typing the courier's real website manually.
Step 4. Never enter payment details on a redelivery page for a parcel you cannot verify independently.
What to do if it is a scam
Step 1. Do not pay the fee or submit your address, card, or login details through the suspicious page.
Step 2. Report the message to the courier, your mobile carrier's spam service, and the merchant if the scam referenced a real order.
Step 3. If you already entered card details, contact your bank or card issuer right away and monitor for fraud.

Questions fréquentes
Are USPS text messages about delivery often scams?
Yes. Fake USPS delivery texts are extremely common and often claim there is an address problem or fee due. Always verify through the real courier site or the store you ordered from.
Why do delivery scams ask for small payments?
The small payment makes the scam feel believable, but the real goal is often to steal your card details, billing address, or identity information.
How do I verify a delivery link safely?
Use a link analyzer before opening it, or better yet, type the courier's real website yourself and enter the tracking number there if you have one.
