FDIC-Insured - Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. GovernmentAs we buy and mail presents during the holidays, the high volume of mail and packages provides many avenues for scammers. Deliveries can be easy targets for thieves and con artists, and so can email.
When you’re expecting a lot of packages over the holidays, shippers will often provide updates on the order status. Knowing this, scammers will also send phishing emails pretending to be from companies like FedEx and UPS to lure us to phony web pages and get us to share personal information.
Look closely at delivery notifications and email updates before you click on links or input information. Remember, UPS and FedEx won’t ask for personal information via email.
All of those packages stacking up outside your door can be tempting for thieves. Consider tracking your package so you’ll know when they’ve arrived or perhaps have them delivered to your workplace to ensure packages arrive safely.
