(KNZA)--Brown County Sheriff John Merchant is alerting residents about a new scam centering around FedEx contact.
Merchant said he has had reports from county residents about emails and text messages they have been receiving that appear to be from FedEx.
The message states this a last reminder to reschedule your item, stating it will
be disposed of, if immediate delivery is not scheduled. Merchant said there is also a link which connects you to an authentic looking FedEx sight.
He said you should delete these e-mails/texts immediately.
Merchant said he was told by FedEx that they don't send unsolicited emails to customers.
Legitimate emails would be generated by TrackingUpdates@fedex.com or
notifications@fedex.com. They would include valid tracking numbers that can
be tracked on FedEx® Tracking
Merchant remainds residents not to reply to unsolicited e-mails or text messages as this is how scammers obtain your personal information.
Anyone who feels they have been a victim of a scam is encouraged to contact local law enforcement .
