Delivery Service

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

The call came in as a private number. Steve wanted to know family information so they could make a delivery. He gave a toll free number as and a release number for pick up service. The toll free number, that was given 877-282-8251. I know this is a scam, because I am in the delivery business with a house hold name. The company that I am with have been in business almost 100 years. They do not, I repeat they do not call you for information on you or family members.

So key point here ( red flags ) #1 private call, a well run company will have an established number. #2 no release number would be given on first contact. # 3 Company’s like your business so they will tell or leave a notice of their intent. ( as they say in the military, have a purpose )

I hope this helps, have a great day.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

I received a voicemail stating to call this number regarding a scheduled delivery. When I called the number they claimed to be a debt collection agency and had all of my personal information. I have no debt with a payday loan company.

Type of a scam Other

The caller asked to verify my address for a package delivery. I refused. She repeated my phone number to remove us from the call list and I goofed and said yes. Now I wonder what will happen.

Type of a scam Phishing

Scammer called claiming to be from a delivery service. Person appeared to be faking automation voice. Said there was a package that needed to be delivered and they wanted to know when someone would be home to sign for the package. Hung up immediately–it was clear the scammer wanted to know when someone would/wouldn’t be home for a break-in.
