Received a text message from this number saying it was regarding a Fed-ex shipment and to click on a link for info regarding the shipment. It just didn't seem right. Any ideas?

I just got a text from these people, too, saying it was about a Fed-ex shipment and to click on the link.  I went to my account at the Fed-ex website, and it says I have no packages being shipped.  Scammers probably trying to get personal information.

I typed in Fake Fed-ex texts and it came up with a CBS news story about this scam.  The link sends you to a fake Amazon checkout page and tells you that you have won a prize and to enter your credit card information, I guess to pay for shipping and then charges you about a hundred dollars a month for a membership.

Text message said I won a new Apple11Pro from Amazon Prime and click on link to claim, hjaar.co/KzPHQA369t;  I didn't respond to the text message.  Looked up the link on my laptop, but said the page could not be found.

Malicious Links

These type of texts are designed to get victims to click a link, then through the redirects you wind up installing a malicious script into your Browser. They can be simple Browser hijackers that create popups to keyloggers/trackers that record every keyboard press along with the websites, then sends it to the scammers.
Most times, the "ending" website has nothing to do with the reasoning they sent the link. The "reason" they sent a text was to get you to click the link, which will redirect to multiple websites, each redirecting to the next one. Some ending websites are designed to phish credit card or personal info on click bait sites they get paid from your clicks, while others just go to a News Article or a search engine.
